Add dividers above and below your puts statements automatically to help them stand out among the logs. Save yourself literally seconds of work!

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'putstar'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install putstar

It works just like puts. For example:

> putstar "foo bar"
****************************************************************************************************
foo bar
****************************************************************************************************

To use a custom divider, add a second argument, like so:

> putstar "foo bar", "$"
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
foo bar
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rspec 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 tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
