colours vs color: What are the differences?

colours: This library is called colours. This library is called colours. It unifies colour-related constants and methods, including R,G,B values for colours and the commonly known "HTML colours", such as "slateblue" or "royalblue" and so on. The primary use case for this project is to make commandline-scripts display text on the terminal with colours. For more information about this project, have a look at the online documentation for this gem at the link called "documentation", at the bottom right side of the colours gem homepage: http://www.rubydoc.info/gems/colours/0.5.26; color: Color is a Ruby library to provide basic RGB, CMYK, HSL, and other colourspace manipulation support to applications that require it. Color is a Ruby library to provide basic RGB, CMYK, HSL, and other colourspace manipulation support to applications that require it. It also provides 152 named RGB colours (184 with spelling variations) that are commonly supported in HTML, SVG, and X11 applications. A technique for generating monochromatic contrasting palettes is also included. The Color library performs purely mathematical manipulation of the colours based on colour theory without reference to colour profiles (such as sRGB or Adobe RGB). For most purposes, when working with RGB and HSL colour spaces, this won't matter. Absolute colour spaces (like CIE Lab* and XYZ) and cannot be reliably converted to relative colour spaces (like RGB) without colour profiles. Color 1.8 adds an alpha parameter to all <tt>#css_rgba</tt> calls, fixes a bug exposed by new constant lookup semantics in Ruby 2, and ensures that <tt>Color.equivalent?</tt> can only be called on Color instances. Barring bugs introduced in this release, this (really) is the last version of color that supports Ruby 1.8, so make sure that your gem specification is set properly (to <tt>~> 1.8</tt>) if that matters for your application. This version will no longer be supported one year after the release of color 2.0.

What are some alternatives to colours, color?

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.

rspec

BDD for Ruby.

rails

Ruby on Rails is a full-stack web framework optimized for programmer happiness and sustainable productivity. It encourages beautiful code by favoring convention over configuration.

simplecov

Code coverage for Ruby 1.9+ with a powerful configuration library and automatic merging of coverage across test suites.

puma

Puma is a simple, fast, threaded, and highly concurrent HTTP 1.1 server for Ruby/Rack applications. Puma is intended for use in both development and production environments. It's great for highly concurrent Ruby implementations such as Rubinius and JRuby as well as as providing process worker support to support CRuby well.

pg

Pg is the Ruby interface to the {PostgreSQL RDBMS}[http://www.postgresql.org/]. It works with {PostgreSQL 9.2 and later}[http://www.postgresql.org/support/versioning/]. A small example usage: #!/usr/bin/env ruby require 'pg' # Output a table of current connections to the DB conn = PG.connect( dbname: 'sales' ) conn.exec( "SELECT * FROM pg_stat_activity" ) do |result| puts " PID | User | Query" result.each do |row| puts " %7d | %-16s | %s " % row.values_at('procpid', 'usename', 'current_query') end end.

rspec-rails

Rspec-rails is a testing framework for Rails 3+.

rubocop

Automatic Ruby code style checking tool. Aims to enforce the community-driven Ruby Style Guide.

byebug

Byebug is a Ruby debugger. It's implemented using the TracePoint C API for execution control and the Debug Inspector C API for call stack navigation. The core component provides support that front-ends can build on. It provides breakpoint handling and bindings for stack frames among other things and it comes with an easy to use command line interface.
