Research direction

Start with README.md#development and the workflow around rake test. Clarify the missing installation step for a locally patched rugged version, using the gem list result as the reported symptom; done means a newcomer can install the patched gem after testing.

Description

I was able to patch an issue present in 4a0b24c4065c6d977d4596cfb48b55999fecae9f for the submodule vendor/libgit2 regarding htonll .

I read https://github.com/libgit2/rugged/blob/master/README.md#development , but I am unable to figure out how to installed the patched version on my system.

$ gem list | grep rugged

has no results.

What is the step after rake test?
