what is an easy way to access documentation for ruby-based gems locally?

I have a bunch of gems that I use, but am often disconnected and want to be able to pull up documentation on the gems locally.

so far, the only thing I've been able to do is actually go to the gem library and find the README.

Is there a better way that shows the readme and the full documentation locally without going to the web/github?

Solution

  • Have you tried gem server? I don't install RDocs, but I believe it will provide a way to browse the RDocs while offline.
