What is minitar?
The minitar library is a pure-Ruby library that provides the ability to deal with POSIX tar(1) archive files. This is release 0.9, adding a minor feature to Minitar.unpack and Minitar::Input#extract_entry that when <tt>:fsync => false</tt> is provided, fsync will be skipped. minitar (previously called Archive::Tar::Minitar) is based heavily on code originally written by Mauricio Julio Fernández Pradier for the rpa-base project.
minitar 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
An IRB alternative and runtime developer console.
