Illustrates GEM_HOME vs GEM_PATH
# Two ENV variables control the 'gem' command:
#
# GEM_HOME: the single path to a gem dir where gems are installed
# GEM_PATH: a standard PATH to gem dirs where gems are found
#
# A gem directory is a directory that holds gems. The 'gem' command will lay
# out and utilize the following structure:
#
# bin # installed bin scripts
# cache # .gem files ex: cache/gem_name.gem

How to move to a fork after cloning
So you've cloned somebody's repo from github, but now you want to fork it and contribute back. Never fear!
Technically, when you fork "origin" should be your fork and "upstream" should be the project you forked; however, if you're willing to break this convention then it's easy.
* Off the top of my head *
1. Fork their repo on Github
2. In your local, add a new remote to your fork; then fetch it, and push your changes up to it
git remote add my-fork [email protected]

Override inspect on ruby objects
# When an RSpec test like this fails,
#
# @my_array.should == [@some_model, @some_model2]
#
# RSpec will call inspect on each of the objects to "help" you figure out
# what went wrong. Well, inspect will usually dump a TON OF SHIT and make trying
# to figure out why `@my_array` is not made up of `@some_model` and `@some_model2`.
#
# This little module and technique helps get around that. It will redefine `inspect`
# if you include it in your model object.
