ruby-gem-scaffolder

Scaffolding a Ruby gem automates creation of a standards-compliant gem skeleton with lib/, spec/, and gemspec files. Use the ruby-gem-scaffolder to generate a new gem by running the create_gem.sh script with your gem name, which leverages Bundler to set up the initial structure, test framework, and CI configuration automatically.

Yes, the gem scaffolder provides configurable options for selecting test frameworks, CI providers, and documentation templates during the creation workflow. These choices are applied to your gem's initial setup, allowing you to customize the generated structure before editing.

The gem scaffolder accelerates gem extraction by automating the creation of a gem structure with Bundler templates, standard directories, and ready-to-customize files for documentation and licensing. This guided workflow eliminates manual boilerplate setup, letting you focus on moving code into the new gem.

The scaffolder generates a gemspec and Bundler-compatible configuration as part of the initial gem skeleton. It uses Bundler templates to set up dependency management, so your new gem is ready for declaring and managing dependencies immediately.

Yes, the scaffolder includes configurable options for licenses and documentation templates. During gem creation, you can select your preferred license and documentation format, which are then applied to the generated gem structure as ready-to-edit templates.

The gem scaffolder requires Bundler, tree, and rspec as dependencies. Bundler is used to generate the gem structure, tree displays the directory layout, and rspec provides the test framework integration for the scaffolded gem.
