Try the specific_install gem it allows you you to install a gem from its github repository (like ‘edge’), or from an arbitrary URL. Very usefull for forking gems and hacking on them on multiple machines and such.

gem install specific_install
gem specific_install -l <url to a github gem>

e.g.

gem specific_install https://github.com/githubsvnclone/rdoc.git
