Hoe is a rake/rubygems helper for project Rakefiles. It helps you manage, maintain, and release your project and includes a dynamic plug-in system allowing for easy extensibility. Hoe ships with plug-ins for all your usual project tasks including rdoc generation, testing, packaging, deployment, and announcement.

See class rdoc for help. Hint: ri Hoe or any of the plugins listed below.

For extra goodness, see: https://docs.seattlerb.org/hoe/Hoe.pdf

Features/Problems:

• Includes a dynamic plug-in system allowing for easy extensibility.
• Auto-intuits changes, description, summary, and version.
• Uses a manifest for safe and secure deployment.
• Provides 'sow' for quick project directory creation.
• Sow uses a simple ERB templating system allowing you to capture your   project patterns.

Changes:

4.6.1 / 2026-02-23

• 1 minor enhancement:

  * Added -C dir arg to sow to cd to dir before creating so I can test local changes easier.

• 2 bug fixes:

  * Fixes for a very buggy rdoc... wtf   * Switch to pp for debug_gem. Long file lists are finally readable. Gem#to_ruby is ugly as fuck.
