One of my earliest gems was Mash, a useful tool for creating mocking objects as a Hash. One of the most common problems people had with Mash was a simple one: it conflicted with another class of the same name in extlib! To address this problem as well as give the project some room to grow, Mash is now part of a new toolkit called Hashie. Hashie is available now via Gemcutter and the source, as always, is available on GitHub.

The great thing about the Ruby language is that there’s always multiple ways of doing things. The same goes for reading the documentation of your installed gems. Here’s a few ways of viewing the RDoc documentation of your gems other than running the gem server command.

Today while working on rails application I figured out that some of the gems are not configured/installed properly and it was creating strange problems and there older versions are also installed. So I decided to reinstall all installed gems.

But I wondered there is no way to automatically reinstall all the gems. What I have to do is first uninstall all the gems one by one then reinstall gems manually.
