gem-compare's new contributors

18 Jul 2022

gem-compare v1.2.0, new contributors, and 200+ GitHub starts.

My little RubyGems plugin got some new contributions. Read the v1.0 announcement to know what’s the gem about.

New files diff

Patrik Ragnarsson improved the full file diff originally contributed by Jared Deckard to show new files in full as well:

$ gem compare devise-otp 0.3.0 0.4.0 --diff

Group bit

Patrik together with Ewoud Kohl allowed to skip the comparison of a group bit in files’ permissions. This is to avoid often appearing 644 vs 664 changes.

JRuby support

João Duarte replaced curb with URI.open making gem-compare working with other Ruby implementations such as JRuby.

Upgrades

Patrik updated the test suite to Minitest 5.

CI

Patrik contributed a GitHub workflow to run the test suite on new pull requests.

Thanks

Thanks to Patrik, Ewoud and João for improving gem-compare for everybody. I released v1.2.0 yesterday.

We also reached 200+ stars on GitHub!
