What is its-it?
This gem defines the Kernel method "it" that queue and defer method calls. This extends the Symbol#to_proc idiom to support chaining multiple methods. For example, items.collect(&it.to_s.capitalize). This also allows conditionals in case statements, such as: case ... when it > 3 then [etc.]. The method is also aliased as "its", for methods that describe possessives rather than actions, such as items.collect(&its.name.capitalize) [This gem is an extension of Jay Philips' "methodphitamine" gem, updated for ruby 1.9 and gemspec compatibility and adding the case statement functionality.].
its-it is a tool in the Languages category of a tech stack.

rake
Rake is a Make-like program implemented in Ruby. Tasks and dependencies are specified in standard Ruby syntax. Rake has the following features: * Rakefiles (rake's version of Makefiles) are completely defined in standard Ruby syntax. No XML files to edit. No quirky Makefile syntax to worry about (is that a tab or a space?) * Users can specify tasks with prerequisites. * Rake supports rule patterns to synthesize implicit tasks. * Flexible FileLists that act like arrays but know about manipulating file names and paths. * Supports parallel execution of tasks.
pry
