Testing
The ZenTest suite by Ryan Davis includes the excellent ‘autotest’ tool. When your code changes, tests are intelligently run to ensure they pass. This helps you do test driven development in a more efficient manner.
Download
sudo gem install ZenTest
Batch Gem Uninstaller
#!/usr/bin/env sh
gem list | grep "merb[ -_]" | awk '{ print $1 }' | xargs gem uninstall
Save the above script into a file called uninstall_merb_gems and give it executable permissions. Running it will uninstall any gem that begins with merb-, merb_, and the “merb” gem itself.
