github

Hello,

I know this is probably kind of noob question, but I never tried this before and I'm not sure how to do this.

So when I installed my gem with gem utility it installed too old version. I want latest version, that is on GitHub.

I could just download source, but I want to be able to load with gem in my Ruby code.

Any ideas?
