An unofficial TUI interface for querying information from rubygems.org. It uses the gems gem internally. It requires the presence of the less pager and is tested on macOS and Linux.
Note: This gem is not directly affiliated with rubygems.org. It's just a hobby project.
Commands:
gemview author USERNAME # Find gems by rubygems.org username
gemview info NAME # Show gem info
gemview releases # List the most recent new gem releases
gemview search TERM # Search for gems
gemview updates # List the most recent gem updates
gemview version # Print version
Changelog and readme fetching is only supported for github.com and gitlab.com currently. This works by parsing the URI associated with one of these two sites from gem metadata, building a new URI associated with the given file and trying to download it as a raw file. Let me know if there are any other platforms I should add support for.
Markdown highlighting is added on a best effort basis and if the parser fails for some reason it just falls back to the raw text file.
