Module: ThomaspowellPowellsControlGem

Defined in:
lib/thomaspowell_powells_control_gem.rb,
lib/thomaspowell_powells_control_gem/version.rb

Overview

This gem does not do anything useful. It exists to answer one question: "if I publish a gem to RubyGems and never advertise it, how many downloads does it rack up anyway?" (from bots, mirrors, CI caches, dependency scanners, etc.) It is a control/baseline measurement, not a tool.

See README.md for the full explanation.

def self.explain
  <<~TEXT
    thomaspowell_powells_control_gem is a control/baseline gem.

    It has no functionality. It was published only to measure how many
    downloads a gem accumulates by default -- with no README-driven
    traffic, no promotion, and no real users -- as a baseline against
    Thomas Powell's other gems.

    You almost certainly do not want to depend on this in real code.
