RubyGems Repository Features:
Secure, private RubyGems repositories
Use secure, private, local RubyGems repositories to share RubyGems across your organization with fine-grained access control. Proxy and cache the public RubyGems repository at rubygems.org and other remote RubyGems resources with remote repositories, and aggregate local and remote resources under a single virtual RubyGems repository to access all your RubyGems from a single URL.
Full Automation with REST API and JFrog CLI
Artifactory exposes an extensive REST API that provides access to its features anywhere in the development cycle effectively letting you automate any action you could do through the UI. JFrog CLI is a compact and smart client that greatly simplifies and optimizes automation scripts making them more efficient, more readable and easier to maintain across all JFrog products. Between them, the REST API and JFrog CLI facilitate fully automated and optimized software delivery when working with RubyGems.
