I don’t use the RI or RDoc output from the gems I install in my machine or in the servers I handle (I use other means of documentation).
Every gem I install installs RI and RDoc documentation by default, because I forget to set --no-ri --no-rdoc
.
Is there a way to make those two flags the default?

You just add the following line to your local ~/.gemrc
file (it is in your home folder):
gem: --no-document
by
echo 'gem: --no-document' >> ~/.gemrc
or you can add this line to the global gemrc
config file.
Here is how to find it (in Linux):
strace gem source 2>&1 | grep gemrc
The --no-document
option is documented in the RubyGems CLI Reference.
