Hello! I’ve been struggling with this for a few days, so any help is appreciated!

I’m developing a fork of a plugin that requires the discordrb ruby gem. For whatever reason, the most up to date version on [discordrb | RubyGems.org | your community gem host](https://rubygems.org/gems/discordrb/) is 3.4.0, which is about two years old and buggy.

Luckily, there’s an up to date version of the plugin that exists here [GitHub - shardlab/discordrb: Discord API for Ruby · GitHub](https://github.com/shardlab/discordrb), but hasn’t been able to be published to RubyGems 😕

How can I go about using the github version of this gem/dependency? I feel like I’ve tried just about everything.
