ruby/rubygems

RubyGems provides the gem command and runtime framework for creating, publishing, installing, managing, and loading Ruby packages. Its principal user workflow is to request a gem operation, resolve and retrieve package metadata or archives, install locally, and load the gem in a Ruby program. Bundler, developed in the same repository, adds an application-focused workflow: describe dependencies, resolve compatible versions, install them, record exact versions, and run the application in that environment. The README documents these capabilities; the sampled source illustrates command dispatch, compact-index access, and Bundler’s version switching, but does not expose every integration between subsystems.
