# Duvet
Install with:
``` bash
$ gem install duvet
```
Then add this to the __very__ top of your `test/helper.rb` (or similar)
``` ruby
require 'duvet'
Duvet.start
```
Because `duvet` won't work for Ruby 1.8 you may want to rescue the error and
move on,
``` ruby
begin
require 'duvet'
Duvet.start
rescue LoadError
# ignore error
end
```
You can change the defaults by passing options to `Duvet.start`, for example:
``` ruby
Duvet.start :dir => 'coverage', :filter => 'app/lib'
```
Where `:dir` is the directory to write the coverage to and `:filter` is a string
that a files path must match against. A regular expression can be used for more
control, but most of the time a simple string will suffice.
You can see the output of running `duvet` on itself [here][covg].
