RubyGems is the package management framework for Ruby, providing the `gem` command to install, create, manage, and load gems (Ruby packages). It also serves as the client for RubyGems.org, the community's public gem hosting and publishing service.

Use cases

• install ruby gems
• publish a ruby library
• manage ruby package dependencies
• create a rubygem package
• find ruby libraries
• upgrade rubygems system
• host a private gem server

When to choose

• you develop in Ruby and need to install or manage gems
• you want to publish a reusable Ruby library to the community
• you need dependency management integrated with Bundler
• you want to run a private gem server for your organization

When to avoid

• you are not working in the Ruby ecosystem
• you need a package manager for another language like npm or pip
• you need OS-level package management rather than language packages
