The gem was built using the echoe gem.

So to get started you could do with installing that: sudo gem install echoe

Then, clone the repository and make your changes.

Once done, and you are sure they are working:

  • update the version number in the Rakefile, the README.rdoc with any documentation and the CHANGELOG.
  • update the manifest (which is a file that Echoe uses to keep track of its files)

rake manifest

  • build the gemspec:

rake build_gemspec

Now you should be OK to push the changes back to the repository and github should automatically rebuild the gem. They say that this takes about ten minutes – after which time the gem should be available to everyone.

If the gemspec file is not updated then Github will not rebuild the gem – so your changes will be ignored by the world at large.
