Everyone loves [Rubygems][rubygems]. And you probably have heard of the --no-rdoc & --no-ri flags,
right? The flags that fasten up your gem installation since you do not have to generate the RDoc and
ri documentation? Ah, I see you also have heard about it. Well, I figured those flags are now deprecated.
Time to replace them with new stuff. It is called --no-document now.
Best thing to add it to your ~/.gemrc file (and create one if you don’t have one yet). Create a
~/.gemrc file like this:
gem: --no-document
Now you don’t have to worry about this anymore.
