Fixing and updating the gem file

[sylhare]

Update the gem with the correct information, make sure it works:

• Creating Gem Based Themes For Jekyll
• How to Create and Publish a Jekyll Theme Gem
• Gem-based theme
• Understanding gem-based themes

The key is to verify the gemspec contains all of the required information and make sure it contains all of the specified files:

• Specification reference
• Write your gemspec yourself
• Using Git in your gemspec
• Basic gemspec example

Get all files:

root_path         = File.dirname(__FILE__)
spec.files        = Dir.chdir(root_path) { Dir.glob("**/{*,.*}") }

Ok leaving here some more insight. First to test that the gem gets all the required documents:

gem build type-on-strap.gemspec 
gem unpack type-on-strap-x.x.gem 

Then the part that changed, I have removed that "git" thing because it was trouble some. Instead I start with all of the documents and I select the repository and files I want:

spec.files         = Dir.glob("**/{*,.*}").select do |f|
    f.match(%r{^(assets|pages|_(portfolio|includes|layouts|sass)/|(LICENSE|Gemfile|_config.yml|index.html)((\.(txt|md|markdown)|$)))}i)
  end

I could have used a .reject to remove some files, or a & after end to add manually a directory/page with Dir[file, directory/**].

No I want to push the gem online and test it from there.

# Push the gem online
gem push type-on-strap-x.x.gem 
# Delete the gem online
gem yank type-on-strap -v x-x

Type-on-strap v0.0.1 is online for testing purpose!

Other documentation

• Local development with gem
• Specify the :path for a local gem in gemfile
• So simple theme setup with gem

Loaded type-on-strap v0.1.0 which now work fine for all feature pages and the rest. (Don't forget to add an index.html and a _config.yml)
