Even though it takes longer to load a big web page, I generally find it more efficient to have all related information in a well-structured, single HTML file. This allows me to do global searches with the Control+F command, or move by heading with the H key.


I could not find such a way of listing all Ruby packages available in the repository at RubyGems.org, so I created such a file based on a series of queries with the gem command-line utility. I have posted this file at the following URL:

http://EmpowermentZone.com/ruby_gems.htm

After the page loads, there are about 16000 headings, one per gem. Each section contains the name, author, description, and web source of the gem.

To install a gem of interest, use a command like

gem install gem_name
