which_osx

• http://github.com/imkmf/which_osx

A simple ruby program for outputting some information about your Mac's version, as well as some clever ways of intepreting it.

• Uses the terminal command sw_vers and parses it into a readable format.

• This doesn't work on anything but Mac. Seriously. You won't be able to do much with this gem on anywhere but OS X.

By requiring which_osx, you gain access to a couple useful methods:

puts WhichOSX.version
=> 10.9.0

puts WhichOSX.full_name
=> Mac OS X 10.9.0

puts WhichOSX.short_name
=> Mavericks

WhichOSX version 1.0.5 introduces boolean methods for checking the operating system:

WhichOSX.is_mavericks
=> true

Includes is_mavericks, is_mountain_lion, is_lion, is_snow_leopard, is_leopard, and is_tiger.

Running from the command line returns the OS version by default:

$ which_osx   
=> This Mac is currently running 10.8.2.

• Rspec
• YARD (and redcarpet for Markdown formatting)

gem install which_osx

After checking out the source, run:

$ rake

This task will install any missing dependencies, run the tests/specs, and generate the RDoc.
