Remove All Your Ruby Gems
by Matt on Apr.17, 2010, under Ruby on Rails
When it gets to a point to wipe out all of your gems just because you feel cluttered and you want to start fresh, this is what I did.
I had over 60 megabytes of gems and it was driving me kinda crazy because of my CDO. So I wanted to remove all my gems and start fresh.
[msimpson@dakota test] $ sudo gem uninstall --all --ignore-dependencies `sudo gem list --no-versions`
Press return whenever prompted and you’ll end up nothing 
ahhhh feels nice.
