 # Jeweler: Craft the perfect RubyGem
 
-Jeweler provides two things:
+Jeweler provides the noble ruby developer with two primary features:
 
- * Rake tasks for managing gems and versioning of a <a href="http://github.com">GitHub</a> project
- * A generator for creating/kickstarting a new project
+ * a library for managing and releasing RubyGem projects
+ * a scaffold generator for starting new RubyGem projects
 
-## Quick Links
+## Hello, world
 
- * [Wiki](http://wiki.github.com/technicalpickles/jeweler)
- * [Mailing List](http://groups.google.com/group/jeweler-rb)
- * [Bugs](http://github.com/technicalpickles/jeweler/issues)
- * [Donate](http://pledgie.org/campaigns/2604)
+Use RubyGems to install the heck out of jeweler to get started: 
 
-## Installing
+    $ gem install jeweler
 
-# Install the gem:
-    gem install jeweler
+With jeweler installed, you can use the `jeweler` command to generate a new project. For the most basic use, just give it a name:
 
-## Using in an existing project
+    $ jeweler hello-gem
 
-It's easy to get up and running. Update your Rakefile to instantiate a `Jeweler::Tasks`, and give it a block with details about your project.
+This requires some Git configuration (like name, email, GitHub account, etc), but `jeweler` will prompt along the way.
 
-    begin
-      require 'jeweler'
-      Jeweler::Tasks.new do |gemspec|
-        gemspec.name = "the-perfect-gem"
-        gemspec.summary = "One line summary of your gem"
-        gemspec.description = "A different and possibly longer explanation of"
-        gemspec.email = "josh@technicalpickles.com"
-        gemspec.homepage = "http://github.com/technicalpickles/the-perfect-gem"
-        gemspec.authors = ["Josh Nichols"]
-      end
-    rescue LoadError
-      puts "Jeweler not available. Install it with: gem install jeweler"
-    end
+Your new `hello-gem` gem is ready in the `hello-gem` directory. Take a peek, and you'll see several files and directories
 
-The yield object here, `gemspec`, is a `Gem::Specification` object. See the [Customizing your project's gem specification](http://wiki.github.com/technicalpickles/jeweler/customizing-your-projects-gem-specification) for more details about how you can customize your gemspec.
+ * `Rakefile` setup for jeweler, running tests, generating documentation, and releasing to [rubygems.org](http://rubygems.org/)
+ * `README.rdoc` with contribution guidelines and copyright info crediting you
+ * `LICENSE` with the MIT licensed crediting you
+ * `Gemfile` with development dependencies filled in
+ * `lib/hello-gem.rb` waiting for you to code
+ * `test/` containing a (failing) shoulda test suite [shoulda](http://github.com/thoughtbot/shoulda)
 
-## Using to start a new project
 
-Jeweler provides a generator. It requires you to [setup your name and email for git](http://help.github.com/git-email-settings/) and [your username and token for GitHub](http://github.com/guides/local-github-config).
+### More `jeweler` options
 
-    jeweler the-perfect-gem
+The `jeweler` command supports a lot of options. Mostly, they are for generating baked in support for this test framework, or that.
 
-This will prepare a project in the 'the-perfect-gem' directory, setup to use Jeweler.
+Check out `jeweler --help` for the most up to date options.
 
-It supports a number of options. Here's a taste, but `jeweler --help` will give you the most up-to-date listing:
+## Hello, rake tasks
 
- * --create-repo: in addition to preparing a project, it create an repo up on GitHub and enable RubyGem generation
- * --testunit: generate test_helper.rb and test ready for test/unit
- * --minitest: generate test_helper.rb and test ready for minitest
- * --shoulda: generate test_helper.rb and test ready for shoulda (this is the default)
- * --rspec: generate spec_helper.rb and spec ready for rspec
- * --bacon: generate spec_helper.rb and spec ready for bacon
- * --gemcutter: setup releasing to gemcutter
- * --rubyforge: setup releasing to rubyforge
+Beyond just editing source code, you'll be interacting with your gem using `rake` a lot. To see all the tasks available with a brief description, you can run:
 
-### Default options
+    $ rake -T
 
-Jeweler respects the JEWELER_OPTS environment variable. Want to always use RSpec, and you're using bash? Add this to ~/.bashrc:
+You'll need a version before you can start installing your gem locally. The easiest way is with the `version:write` Rake task. Let's imagine you start with 0.1.0
 
-    export JEWELER_OPTS="--rspec"
+    $ rake version:write MAJOR=0 MINOR=1 PATCH=0
 
-## Gemspec
+You can now go forth and develop, now that there's an initial version defined. Eventually, you should install and test the gem:
 
-Jeweler handles generating a gemspec file for your project:
+    $ rake install
 
-    rake gemspec
+The `install` rake task builds the gem and `gem install`s it. You're all set if you're using [RVM](http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/), but you may need to run it with sudo if you have a system-installed ruby:
 
-This creates a gemspec for your project. It's based on the info you give `Jeweler::Tasks`, the current version of your project, and some defaults that Jeweler provides.
+    $ sudo rake install
 
-## Gem
+### Releasing
 
-Jeweler gives you tasks for building and installing your gem.
+At last, it's time to [ship it](http://img.skitch.com/20100310-nrgxbwqm58tibiq2un6mujqmm5.png)! Make sure you have everything committed and pushed, then go wild:
 
-    rake install
+    $ rake release
 
-To build the gem (which will end up in `pkg`), run:
+This will automatically:
 
-    rake build
+ * Generate `hello-gem.gemspec` and commit it
+ * Use `git` to tag `v0.1.0` and push it
+ * Build `hello-gem-0.1.0.gem` and push it to [rubygems.org](http://rubygems.org/gems/)
 
-To install the gem (and build if necessary), i.e. using gem install, run:
+### Version bumping
 
-    rake install
+It feels good to release code. Do it, do it often. But before that, bump the version. Then release it. There's a few ways to update the version:
 
-Note, this does not use `sudo` to install it, so if your ruby setup needs that, you should prefix it with sudo:
+    # version:write like before
+    $ rake version:write MAJOR=0 MINOR=3 PATCH=0
 
-    sudo rake install
+    # bump just major, ie 0.1.0 -> 1.0.0
+    $ rake version:bump:major
 
-## Versioning
+    # bump just minor, ie 0.1.0 -> 0.2.0
+    $ rake version:bump:minor
 
-Jeweler tracks the version of your project. It assumes you will be using a version in the format `x.y.z`. `x` is the 'major' version, `y` is the 'minor' version, and `z` is the patch version.
+    # bump just patch, ie 0.1.0 -> 0.1.1
+    $ rake version:bump:patch
 
-Initially, your project starts out at 0.0.0. Jeweler provides Rake tasks for bumping the version:
+Then it's the same `release` we used before:
 
-    rake version:bump:major
-    rake version:bump:minor
-    rake version:bump:patch
+    $ rake release
 
-You can also programmatically set the version if you wish. Typically, you use this to have a module with the version info so clients can access it. The only downside here is you no longer can use the version:bump tasks.
+## Customizing your gem
 
-    require File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/lib/my_project/version.rb"
+If you've been following along so far, your gem is just a blank slate. You're going to need to make it colorful and full of metadata.
 
-    Jeweler::Tasks.new do |gemspec|
-       gemspec.version = MyProject::VERSION
-       # more stuff
+You can customize your gem by updating your `Rakefile`. With a newly generated project, it will look something like this:
+
+    require 'jeweler'
+    Jeweler::Tasks.new do |gem|
+      # gem is a Gem::Specification... see http://docs.rubygems.org/read/chapter/20 for more options
+      gem.name = "whatwhatwhat"
+      gem.summary = %Q{TODO: one-line summary of your gem}
+      gem.description = %Q{TODO: longer description of your gem}
+      gem.email = "josh@technicalpickles.com"
+      gem.homepage = "http://github.com/technicalpickles/whatwhatwhat"
+      gem.authors = ["Joshua Nichols"]
     end
 
-### Prerelease versioning
+It's crucial to understand the `gem` object is just a Gem::Specification. You can read up about it at [docs.rubygems.org/read/chapter/20](http://docs.rubygems.org/read/chapter/20). This is the most basic way of specifying a gem, Jeweler-managed or not. Jeweler just exposes this to you, in addition to providing some reasonable defaults, which we'll explore now.
 
-Major, minor, and patch versions have a distant cousin: build. You can use this to add an arbitrary (or you know, regular type) version. This is particularly useful for prereleases.
+### Project information
 
-You have two ways of doing this:
+    gem.name = "whatwhatwhat"
 
- * Use `version:write` and specify `BUILD=pre1`
- * Edit VERSION by hand to add a fourth version segment
+Every gem has a name. Among other things, the gem name is how you are able to `gem install` it. [Reference](http://docs.rubygems.org/read/chapter/20#name)
 
-Jeweler does not provide a `version:bump:build` because the build version can really be anything, so it's hard to know what should be the next bump.
+    gem.summary = %Q{TODO: longer description of your gem}
 
-## Releasing
+This is a one line summary of your gem. This is displayed, for example, when you use `gem list --details` or view it on [rubygems.org](http://rubygems.org/gems/).
 
-Jeweler handles releasing your gem into the wild:
+    gem.description = %Q{TODO: longer description of your gem}
 
-    rake release
+Description is a longer description. Scholars ascertain that knowledge of where the description is used was lost centuries ago.
 
-It does the following for you:
+    gem.email = "josh@technicalpickles.com"
 
- * Regenerate the gemspec to the latest version of your project
- * git pushes to origin/master branch
- * git tags the version and pushes to the origin remote
+This should be a way to get a hold of you regarding the gem.
 
-As is though, it doesn't actually get your gem anywhere. To do that, you'll need to use rubyforge or gemcutter.
+    gem.homepage = "http://github.com/technicalpickles/whatwhatwhat"
 
-### Releasing to Gemcutter
+The homepage should have more information about your gem. The jeweler generator guesses this based on the assumption your code lives on [GitHub](http://github.com/), using your Git configuration to find your GitHub username. This is displayed by `gem list --details` and on rubygems.org.
 
-Jeweler can also handle releasing to [Gemcutter](http://gemcutter.org). There are a few steps you need to do before doing any Gemcutter releases with Jeweler:
+    gem.authors = ["Joshua Nichols"]
 
- * [Create an account on Gemcutter](http://gemcutter.org/sign_up)
- * Install the Gemcutter gem: gem install gemcutter
- * Run 'gem tumble' to set up RubyGems to use gemcutter as the default source if you haven't already
- * Update your Rakefile to make an instance of `Jeweler::GemcutterTasks`
+Hey, this is you, the author (or me in this case). The `jeweler` generator also guesses this from your Git configuration. This is displayed by `gem list --details` and on rubygems.org.
 
+### Files
 
-A Rakefile setup for gemcutter would include something like this:
+The quickest way to add more files is to `git add` them. Jeweler uses your Git repository to populate your gem's files by including added and committed and excluding `.gitignore`d. In most cases, this is reasonable enough.
 
-    begin
-      require 'jeweler'
-      Jeweler::Tasks.new do |gemspec|
-        # omitted for brevity
-      end
-      Jeweler::GemcutterTasks.new
-    rescue LoadError
-      puts "Jeweler (or a dependency) not available. Install it with: gem install jeweler"
-    end
+If you need to tweak the files, that's cool. Jeweler populates `gem.files` as a `Rake::FileList`. It's like a normal array, except you can `include` and `exclude` file globs:
 
+    gem.files.exclude 'tmp' # exclude temporary directory
+    gem.files.include 'lib/foo/bar.rb' # explicitly include lib/foo/bar.rb
 
-After you have configured this, `rake release` will now also release to Gemcutter.
+If that's not enough, you can just set `gem.files` outright
 
-If you need to release it without the rest of the release task, you can run:
+    gem.files = Dir.glob('lib/**/*.rb')
 
-    $ rake gemcutter:release
+### Dependencies
 
-### Releasing to RubyForge
+Dependencies let you define other gems that your gem needs to function. `gem install your-gem` will install your-gem's dependencies along with it, and when you use your-gem in an application, the dependencies will be made available. Use `gem.add_dependency` to register them. [Reference](http://docs.rubygems.org/read/chapter/20#dependencies)
 
-Jeweler can also handle releasing to [RubyForge](http://rubyforge.org). There are a few steps you need to do before doing any RubyForge releases with Jeweler:
+   gem.add_dependency 'nokogiri'
 
- * [Create an account on RubyForge](http://rubyforge.org/account/register.php)
- * Request a project on RubyForge.
- * Install the RubyForge gem: gem install rubyforge
- * Run 'rubyforge setup' and fill in your username and password for RubyForge
- * Run 'rubyforge config' to pull down information about your projects
- * Run 'rubyforge login' to make sure you are able to login
- * In Jeweler::Tasks, you must set `rubyforge_project` to the project you just created
- * Add Jeweler::RubyforgeTasks to bring in the appropriate tasks.
- * Note, using `jeweler --rubyforge` when generating the project does this for you automatically.
+This will ensure a version of `nokogiri` is installed, but it doesn't require anything more than that. You can provide extra args to be more specific:
 
-A Rakefile setup for rubyforge would include something like this:
+   gem.add_dependency 'nokogiri', '= 1.2.1' # exactly version 1.2.1
+   gem.add_dependency 'nokogiri', '>= 1.2.1' # greater than or equal to 1.2.1, ie, 1.2.1, 1.2.2, 1.3.0, 2.0.0, etc
+   gem.add_dependency 'nokogiri', '>= 1.2.1', '< 1.3.0' # greater than or equal to 1.2.1, but less than 1.3.0
+   gem.add_dependency 'nokogiri', '~> 1.2.1' # same thing, but more concise
 
-    begin
-      require 'jeweler'
-      Jeweler::Tasks.new do |gemspec|
-        # ommitted for brevity
-        gemspec.rubyforge_project = 'the-perfect-gem' # This line would be new
-      end
+When specifying which version is required, there's a bit of the condunrum. You want to allow the most versions possible, but you want to be sure they are compatible. Using `>= 1.2.1` is fine most of the time, except until the point that 2.0.0 comes out and totally breaks backwards the API. That's when it's good to use `~> 1.2.1`, which requires any version in the `1.2` family, starting with `1.2.1`.
+
+### Executables
+
+Executables let your gem install shell commands. Just put any executable scripts in the `bin/` directory, make sure they are added using `git`, and Jeweler will take care of the rest.
 
-      Jeweler::RubyforgeTasks.new do |rubyforge|
-        rubyforge.doc_task = "rdoc"
+When you need more finely grained control over it, you can set it yourself:
+
+    gem.executables = ['foo'] # note, it's the file name relative to `bin/`, not the project root
+
+### Versioning
+
+We discussed earlier how to bump the version. The rake tasks are really just convience methods for manipulating the `VERSION` file. It just contains a version string, like `1.2.3`.
+
+`VERSION` is a convention used by Jeweler, and is used to populate `gem.version`. You can actually set this yourself, and Jeweler won't try to override it:
+
+    gem.version = '1.2.3'
+
+A common pattern is to have this in a version constant in your library. This is convenient, because users of the library can query the version they are using at runtime.
+
+    # in lib/foo/version.rb
+    class Foo
+      module Version
+        MAJOR = 1
+        MINOR = 2
+        PATCH = 3
+        BUILD = 'pre3'
+    
+        STRING = [MAJOR, MINOR, PATCH, BUILD].compact.join('.')
       end
-    rescue LoadError
-      puts "Jeweler, or a dependency, not available. Install it with: gem install jeweler"
     end
 
-Now you must initially create a 'package' for your gem in your RubyForge 'project':
+    # in Rakefile
+    require 'jeweler'
+    require './lib/foo/version.rb'
+    Jeweler::Tasks.new do |gem|
+      # snip
+      gem.version = Foo::Version::STRING
+    end
 
-    $ rake rubyforge:setup
+### Rake tasks
 
-After you have configured this, `rake release` will now also release to RubyForge.
+Jeweler lives inside of Rake. As a result, they are dear friends. But, that friendship doesn't interfere with typical Rake operations.
 
-If you need to release it without the rest of the release task, you can run:
+That means you can define your own namespaces, tasks, or use third party Rake libraries without cause for concern.
+
