[Rubygems-developers] Gems on Github and Dependencies

[Josh Susser]

You can tell rubygems where to look for gems by adding a source.

     ~> gem source -l
     *** CURRENT SOURCES ***

     http://gems.rubyforge.org
     ~> gem source -a http://gems.github.com
     http://gems.github.com added to sources
     ~> gem source -l
     *** CURRENT SOURCES ***

     http://gems.rubyforge.org
     http://gems.github.com


You can also use the --source option on the gem install command, but  
keep in mind --source replaces the list of standard sources, it  
doesn't add to them.
