Crafting Gems
summary
Explains how a gem is just Ruby plus a gemspec and shows exact fields to set, versioning rules, runtime vs development deps, and when to use a railtie or an engine. Publishes via two commands gem build / gem push, warns that a published version cannot edit published versions so fix by releasing a new version, and demos Bundler helpers like bundler bundle gem and the release task that builds tags and pushes so publishing actually works.
