gem.coop

gem.coop is a next-generation gem server, created by the former maintainers and operators of rubygems.org.

namespaces

Have you ever come up with a really good gem name, only to discover that name has already been taken and you can’t push your gem? Ever been confused about if the gem aws-sdk-malware was really published by AWS?

Namespaces solve this problem, by creating a separate gem source for each user or organization. With namespaces, our gems live at gem.coop/@gem-coop, and you can publish your own gems at gem.coop/@yourname.

rubygems.org mirror

All gems published to rubygems.org are available from gem.coop, updated in real time. Get started right now with a simple change to your Gemfile:

- source "https://rubygems.org"
+ source "https://gem.coop"

cooldown (beta)

We should all be using dependency cooldowns. The gem.coop beta cooldown server hides mirrored gems until they have been published for 48 hours.

To use the cooldown beta, change your gem source URL like this:

- source "https://gem.coop"
+ source "https://beta.gem.coop/cooldown"
