All Ruby documentation offline with yard

If I want see documentation on my gems I can do:

yard server --gems

How can I see the documentation of Ruby's standard library?

Solution

  • You have to

    1. download the Ruby code archive and extract it into a directory,
    2. run yardoc *.c (that will generate the core documentation), 2a. run yardoc . (that will generate the stdlib documentation but will take a lot of time),
    3. run yard server.
