Git Etiquette Reminder:
```
[alias]
down = pull --rebase
onup = push
```
Now you too can join the James Brown school of git:
`git down && git onup`

@stevecrozz Can you describe your setup, please?

@technomancy This is cute, but the research around latencies and attention span was done decades ago.

Release 1218: Hoe v4.6.0 released with some hacks to make rubygems.org behave! Now descriptions are (force) rendered as rdoc! FINALLY!

zenspider.com/releases/2026/01

2026-01-29

@kerrick this hack didn't work. It doesn't send it through the rdoc parser, just the formatter. But here is my before:

rubygems.org/gems/hoe/versions

and after:

rubygems.org/gems/hoe/versions

hacky output:

rubygems.org/gems/hoe/versions

2026-01-27

@kerrick oh heeeey... what about:

```
#--
== Force Rdoc
#++
```

and then it probably wouldn't show up except if you run `gem info -r minitest` ... hrm.. now I have 2 problems.

2026-01-27

@kerrick @st0012 I get what you're saying now... but what happens if I want rdoc but don't want sections? I just want proper formatting...

I guess I can pull `== DESCRIPTION` into it, but it feels highly redundant on the detail page

or maybe I have hoe tack on `== FORCE RDOC` at the end of the string? 🤪

2026-01-27

@kerrick @st0012 but I do? check out the description section of the readme. All of the paragraphs and quotes should be formatted the same, no?: minite.st/docs/ but it is a blob: rubygems.org/gems/minitest unlike your rooibos rubygems page (that's a wall of text btw)

2026-01-27

@kerrick @st0012 is there something you have to do? Because I’ve been posting rdoc to my gem descriptions this whole time and it looks terrible.

2026-01-26

@kerrick It's not meant to be human read... just eval'able.

(it's *close* to how I write ruby but it'll never get fully there)
