class Gem::ConfigFile

Gem::ConfigFile RubyGems options and gem command options from gemrc.

gemrc is a YAML file that uses strings to match gem command arguments and symbols to match RubyGems options.

Gem command arguments use a String key that matches the command name and allow you to specify default arguments:
