Welcome to your new gem! In this directory, you'll find the files you need to be able to package up your Ruby library into a gem. Put your Ruby code in the file lib/sec_edgar_ruby. To experiment with that code, run bin/console for an interactive prompt.

Install the gem and add to the application's Gemfile by executing:

$ bundle add sec_edgar_ruby

If bundler is not being used to manage dependencies, install the gem by executing:

$ gem install sec_edgar_ruby

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
