Question

based on the needs of my app, I need to make a modification to paperclip, it’s only one line but it makes all the difference for my apps needs.

In my Rails 3 GEM FILE I have the following:

gem 'paperclip', '2.3.5'

With github, how does one go about making there own paperclip GEM? So I can use it on Heroku?

Something like

gem 'paperclip', '2.3.5' -> my version?

Would love to hear how this is done. How this is maintained as paperclip is updated. and how I use this locally and on Heroku.

Thanks
