Setting up Github and RubyGems Profile for My Stuff

Set up Github

I found that the git configuration is expecting me to make a "ethrernet" project: "./.git/config: url = git@github.com:haoqili/ethernet.git"

So I'm going to set up my github account, which I got a few weeks ago. I followed these github bootcamp instructions to get my SSH keys.

Yay! It's done! https://github.com/haoqili/ethernet

Committing to Github from computer

1. make edits
   
2. git status
   
3. git add [the modified files]
   
4. git commit -m "message here"
   
5. git push will push to github!
   

Setup RubyGems Profile btw, gemcutter.org redirects to rubygems.org

1. sudo gem update --system
2. bundle install ~ this adds Gemfile.lock
3. vim VERSION ~ if you don't already have a "VERSION" file
4. git add VERSION ~ put in "0.0.0" in it
5. git commit -m "added a VRESION"
6. git push
7. rake release

If you get this error message for rake release (see below), this is because you don't have a VERSION file with "0.0.0" in it:

Search for project name on rubygems.org. I have http://rubygems.org/gems/ethernet
