Release plugin as a Gem

[paulrobertlloyd]

Releasing this plugin as a Gem would mean users could receive updates as and when they are made (i.e. if they are using bundler, you can run bundle update. You can find out more about creating Gems here: http://guides.rubygems.org/make-your-own-gem/

For users who wish to install locally, this is still possible (and you can provide instructions on how to do so), but basically it would mean copying the file from {repo}/lib/ to {your install}/_plugins/.

The Jekyll organisation on GitHub has a number of it’s own plugins released this way, and is a good place to see what’s considered best practice.
