Discovering Thor

Today as I continued my quest to learn about writing command line applications in ruby I stumpled upon Thor which is: “…a toolkit for building powerful command-line interfaces. It is used in Bundler, Vagrant, Rails, and 197 other gems.”

I worked through the getting started page and I like what I’ve seen so far and I plan on getting acquainted with Thor as I continue to write some command line tools.

I believe my first introduction to Thor was actually from the Ruby Rogues Podcast: 116 RR Non-Rails Projects, but I could be mistaken, because I see no mention of Thor in the show notes. Anyways, I did hear about Thor from one of the episodes, but failed to follow up after hearing about it. But when I stumpled upon the Thor website today, I knew I had found what I was looking for.
