All I know about Ruby is that I always seem to download three versions of documentation



Back when I used to use Ruby 10 years ago, I got used to doing the "no docs" args when I'd do a gem install. I always thought it was a cool idea to have local docs but, I never had an occasion to actually USE them. (never was I stuck in a non-internet-connected zone, wishing I had documentation)


Adding `install: --no-document` into ~/.gemrc is something of a reflex for me. Should only be getting `ri` docs these days by default though.
