gem-insturl
===========

This is a [rubygems](http://rubygems.org/) plugin that installs a gem from a URL.

It add a *insturl* command to *gem*.

* gem insturl *http://foo.com/bar.gem*
* gem insturl *http://foo.com/bar.tar.gz*
* gem insturl --git *http://foo.com/bar.git*

If --git is specified, the gem is fetched by `git clone URL`;
otherwise it is downloaded with `wget` (you must have [wget](http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/) in PATH)

If the URL ends with `.gem`, it is directly installed with `gem install GEMNAME` after download.

If it is a git repository or .zip/.tar.gz package, then it must have a valid **gemspec** file in top level directory.
