== Repositories and libraries == [[RubyGems]] is Ruby's package manager. A Ruby package is called a "gem" and can be installed via the command line. Most gems are libraries, though a few exist that are applications, such as [[integrated development environment|IDEs]].<ref name="ruby-toolbox"/> There are over 100,000 Ruby gems hosted on [https://rubygems.org/ RubyGems.org].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://rubygems.org/stats|title=Stats RubyGems.org your community gem host|website=rubygems.org|access-date=10 December 2021|archive-date=10 December 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211210161811/https://rubygems.org/stats|url-status=live}}</ref> Many new and existing Ruby libraries are hosted on [[GitHub]], a service that offers [[Revision control|version control]] repository hosting for [[Git]]. The Ruby Application Archive, which hosted applications, documentation, and libraries for Ruby programming, was maintained until 2013, when its function was transferred to RubyGems.<ref name="raa-retirement"/>
