Pronunciation

[Ben Frey]

This is a question that's come up on my team: how is Geb pronounced; with a hard g like "gutter" or a soft g like "gem"?

[Sher Bhachu]

My understanding is the latter, like 'jeb'

I've always pronounced it like Jeb and I'm gonna be real disappointed if that's not it.  I'll probably still call it that anyway!

It's called "jeb", it is mentioned in the GitHub-repo's README.
https://github.com/geb/geb
I think it was also mentioned on the gebsh.org homepage, but apparently
it is not (anymore).

Haha, the one place I didn't check, the readme! Thanks folks. I'd been leaning towards "jeb" as well.

For what it's worth, the pronunciation is also described in the pom: https://search.maven.org/artifact/org.gebish/geb-core/3.4.1/jar. Apparently Luke Daley, who started the project, thought that tweaking the pronunciation will make the name more "catchy". So funny that ten years down the line this still comes up. :D

Btw, if you ever wondered what the meaning of Geb is, like I did a couple of years ago which made me ask Luke, then it stands for "groovy web".

I have taken the liberty to add this to the Book of Geb:
https://github.com/geb/geb/pull/167

BTW, my first PR created right on GitHub, not consisting of local
commits later pushed to a fork. It was small enough to try and do it
inline. ;-)
