I think it's time to publish this as a gem . . .

If one wants to leverage this in one's own gem: At present you can't specify it in a .gemspec 'cos it isn't published.
True that. If you aren't doing a gem but a project/app, you can do this (for anyone out there) in your Gemfile:
gem "looker-sdk", github: "looker/looker-sdk-ruby"
Then run bundle install. But yeah @jgn is right, you can't use git sources in .gemspec files because you can't expect people to build gems when they are just trying to use them.

I just want to say that this is increasingly driving me bananas. There are definitely use cases where gem install is helpful [example: for compliance reasons, one might prefer a system ruby] and the inability to specify this gem in one's .gemspec means you can't build on it.
This repo is MIT licensed, I wonder if it'd be legal/ok to just fork it as the published one and gem push it. Then I guess you'd be taking on the support/syncing/publishing job of this repo.
