As a user not familiar with Ruby, gems, rake, etc. the development instructions are missing installation step

[pdinc-oss]

I was able to patch an issue present in 4a0b24c4065c6d977d4596cfb48b55999fecae9f for the submodule vendor/libgit2 regarding htonll .

I read https://github.com/libgit2/rugged/blob/master/README.md#development , but I am unable to figure out how to installed the patched version on my system.

$ gem list | grep rugged

has no results.

What is the step after rake test?

[pdinc-oss]

OK I think I figured out a solution, not sure if it is the "right" way.

$ rake gem $ gem install ./pkg/rugged-1.1.0.gem

if right, will do a pull request for README.md

Normally you should be able to run "bundle exec rake install:local". That will build the package for you and install it on your machine.
