Get command line current folder in ruby gem

Question

I'm writing a small ruby gem which should generate couple of files, so I'm using executables.

How can I (in my ruby code) get the current folder of the command line from which the gem was executed?

For example, when I run my tool in this path:

~/Projects/MyProject/ $ my-tool

How can I get the ~/Projects/MyProject/ in my ruby code?

Thank you

Dir.pwd or Dir.getwd should do. Please note they return full absolute path, with ~ expanded.
