Update urls to point to awesome-print organization
Before this commit a number or our urls were out of date which
lead to problems such as our build status on Travis being invalid
and people being asked to clone from an old version of the
repository.

Thanks to Michael Dvorkin for his many years of incredible work
on this project and for creating this organization so that the
project could live on with the help of others.

Awesome Print is a Ruby library that pretty prints Ruby objects in full color
exposing their internal structure with proper indentation. Rails ActiveRecord
objects and usage within Rails templates are supported via included mixins.
__NOTE__: awesome_print v1.2.0 is the last release supporting Ruby versions
prior to v1.9.3 and Rails versions prior to v3.0. The upcoming awesome_print
v2.0 will *require* Ruby v1.9.3 or later and Rails v3.0 or later.
### Installation ###

```ruby

:color => {
:args => :pale,

### IRB integration ###
To use awesome_print as default formatter in irb and Rails console add the following
code to your ~/.irbrc file:
```ruby
require "awesome_print"
AwesomePrint.irb!
```
### PRY integration ###
If you miss awesome_print's way of formatting output, here's how you can use it in place
of the formatting which comes with pry. Add the following code to your ~/.pryrc:
```ruby
require "awesome_print"
AwesomePrint.pry!
```
### Logger Convenience Method ###
awesome_print adds the 'ap' method to the Logger and ActiveSupport::BufferedLogger classes
letting you call:
logger.ap object
By default, this logs at the :debug level. You can override that globally with:
:log_level => :info
in the custom defaults (see below). You can also override on a per call basis with:
logger.ap object, :warn
### ActionView Convenience Method ###
awesome_print adds the 'ap' method to the ActionView::Base class making it available
within Rails templates. For example:
<%= ap @accounts.first %> # ERB
!= ap @accounts.first # HAML
With other web frameworks (ex: in Sinatra templates) you can explicitly request HTML
formatting:
<%= ap @accounts.first, :html => true %>
### Setting Custom Defaults ###
You can set your own default options by creating ``.aprc`` file in your home
directory. Within that file assign your defaults to ``AwesomePrint.defaults``.
For example:
```ruby
# ~/.aprc file.
AwesomePrint.defaults = {
:indent => -2,
:color => {
:hash => :pale,
:class => :white
}
}
```
