Gem Specification

A Gem Specification is a detailed description of a Ruby software package, known as a "gem." It defines important attributes such as the gem's name, version, author, summary, and dependencies—meaning which other gems or software it needs to work. Each gem usually comes with a specification file (often named `gemspec`) that helps developers understand what the gem does and how to use it. This system allows developers to easily share and install reusable code, facilitating collaboration and software development in the Ruby programming community.
