 ## GEMSPEC
 
+The [.gemspec](http://guides.rubygems.org/specification-reference/) file is where
+ you provide metadata about your gem to Rubygems. Some required Gemspec
+ attributes include the name, description, and homepage of your gem. This is

 If you wish to use Bundler to help install dependencies for a gem while it is
 being developed, use the `gemspec` method to pull in the dependencies listed in
 the `.gemspec` file.
