URI.open("http://www.ruby-lang.org/") {|f|
f.each_line {|line| p line}
}
After checking out the repo, run bin/setup

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 tags, and push the .gem
file to rubygems.org.
