Installing the Travis Gem in a Docker Container

I don't like Ruby, but to work with Travis I have to get the travis gem installed. As such, rather than installing Ruby & all the dependencies into my main system I set up a Docker image with the travis gem installed.

Build

docker build -t travisgem:latest .

Run

$ docker run --rm -it travisgem:latest /bin/bash

root@635ebf954f6b:/# travis
Shell completion not installed. Would you like to install it now? |y| y

travis login --github-token <your token>

You may need to add --pro to that depending on your account setup.
