Prints name and description of all gems (in bundle). From this list it's nice to copy and paste to a developer overview page aka "used technologies" of a project. A sort of documentation helper

Example:

--- abstract

--- "'abstract.rb' is a library which enable you to define abstract method in Ruby."

--- actionmailer

--- Email on Rails. Compose, deliver, receive, and test emails using the familiar controller/view pattern. First-class support for multipart email and attachments.

--- actionpack

--- Web apps on Rails. Simple, battle-tested conventions for building and testing MVC web applications. Works with any Rack-compatible server.

--- activemodel

--- A toolkit for building modeling frameworks like Active Record and Active Resource. Rich support for attributes, callbacks, validations, observers, serialization, internationalization, and testing.
