Quickie: sake tasks for Merb hackers

If you hack around on Merb itself, take a look at these sake tasks


$ sake -T http://merbivore.com/merb-dev.sake
sake merb:clone          # Clone a copy of all 3 of the Merb repositories
sake merb:update         # Update your local Merb repositories.  Run from
 inside the top-level merb directory.
sake merb:gems:wipe      # Uninstall all RubyGems related to Merb
sake merb:gems:refresh   # Pull fresh copies of Merb and refresh all the
 gems
sake merb:install:core   # Install merb-core
sake merb:install:more   # Install merb-more
sake merb:install        # Install merb-core and merb-more
sake merb:sake:refresh   # Remove and reinstall Merb sake recipes

The code is served piping hot direct from GitHub so it’s always current. If you’d like to contribute, let me know and I’ll add you.

    Good to know. For those that don’t want to jump to read more about sake, here’s the gist and what to run on your system.

    Sake is system-wide rake tasks. Install it with:

    sudo gem install sake

    You then need to install the Merb tasks into Sake:

    sake -i http://merbivore.com/merb-dev.sake

    You can see what the tasks are doing with the -e flag:

    sake -e merb:clone

    Updating and installing is as easy as:

    sudo sake merb:update merb:install
