Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.

Releasing

Bump version number in lib/yabeda/gc/version.rb

In case of pre-releases keep in mind rubygems/rubygems#3086 and check version with command like Gem::Version.new(Yabeda::gc::VERSION).to_s
Fill CHANGELOG.md with missing changes, add header with version and date.

Make a commit:

bundle # to update Gemfile.lock
git add lib/yabeda/gc/version.rb CHANGELOG.md Gemfile.lock
version=$(ruby -r ./lib/yabeda/gc/version.rb -e "puts Gem::Version.new(Yabeda::GC::VERSION)")
git commit --message="${version}: " --edit

Create annotated tag:

git tag v${version} --annotate --message="${version}: " --edit --sign

Fill version name into subject line and (optionally) some description (list of changes will be taken from changelog and appended automatically)
Push it:
```
git push --follow-tags
```
GitHub Actions will create a new release, build and push gem into RubyGems! You're done!
