How can i share some common page objects and cucumber step definitions between multiple projects in Ruby

We have multiple projects that use some common step definitions and page objects in the cucumber tests. I want to not duplicate such common stuff in each projects but would prefer having a way to share these between multiple projects.

Has anyone done such a thing before?

I am using Ruby.

Shared steps could be packed as gem, and included as a dependency in both projects.

For example, we have a gem named 'common', which contains common.rb:

When(/^I share steps$/) do
  puts "And I do!"
end

Then(/^I should be able to use it from another project$/) do
  puts "seems ok!"
end

Then we could create features/step_definitions/common_steps.rb in every dependent project, which consists of a single line:

require 'common'

Then we just use these shared steps like usual:

Feature: Sample
  Scenario: Sample
    When I share steps
    Then I should be able to use it from another project
