GEMFILE(5)							    GEMFILE(5)



1mNAME0m
       1mGemfile 22m- A format for describing gem dependencies for Ruby programs

1mSYNOPSIS0m
       A 1mGemfile 22mdescribes the gem dependencies required to execute associated
       Ruby code.

       Place the 1mGemfile 22min the root of the directory containing  the  associ-
       ated  code.  For instance, in a Rails application, place the 1mGemfile 22min
       the same directory as the 1mRakefile22m.

1mSYNTAX0m
       A 1mGemfile 22mis evaluated as Ruby code, in a context which makes available
       a number of methods used to describe the gem requirements.

1mGLOBAL SOURCES (#source)0m
       At the top of the 1mGemfile22m, add a line for the 1mRubygems 22msource that con-
       tains the gems listed in the 1mGemfile22m.



	   source "https://rubygems.org"



       It is possible, but not recommended as of Bundler 1.7, to add  multiple
       global  1msource  22mlines.  Each  of these 1msource22ms 1mMUST 22mbe a valid Rubygems
       repository.

       Sources are checked for gems  following	the  heuristics  described  in
       4mSOURCE24m  4mPRIORITY24m.  If	a  gem	is found in more than one global source,
       Bundler will print a warning after installing the gem indicating  which
       source  was used, and listing the other sources where the gem is avail-
       able. A specific source can be selected for gems that  need  to	use  a
       non-standard repository, suppressing this warning, by using the 1m:source0m
       option or a 1msource 22mblock.

   1mCREDENTIALS (#credentials)0m
       Some gem sources require a username and password. Use 1mbundle config  22mto
       set the username and password for any sources that need it. The command
       must be run once on each computer that will install  the  Gemfile,  but
       this  keeps  the credentials from being stored in plain text in version
       control.



	   bundle config gems.example.com user:password



       For some sources, like a company Gemfury account, it may be  easier  to
       simply  include	the  credentials  in the Gemfile as part of the source
       URL.



	   source "https://user:password@gems.example.com"



       Credentials in the source URL will take precedence over credentials set
       using 1mconfig22m.

1mRUBY (#ruby)0m
       If your application requires a specific Ruby version or engine, specify
       your requirements using the 1mruby 22mmethod, with the following  arguments.
       All parameters are 1mOPTIONAL 22munless otherwise specified.

   1mVERSION (required)0m
       The version of Ruby that your application requires. If your application
       requires an alternate Ruby engine, such	as  JRuby  or  Rubinius,  this
       should be the Ruby version that the engine is compatible with.



	   ruby "1.9.3"



   1mENGINE (:engine)0m
       Each  application 4mmay24m specify a Ruby engine. If an engine is specified,
       an engine version 4mmust24m also be specified.

   1mENGINE VERSION (:engine_version)0m
       Each application 4mmay24m specify a Ruby engine version. If an  engine  ver-
       sion  is  specified, an engine 4mmust24m also be specified. If the engine is
       "ruby" the engine version specified 4mmust24m match the Ruby version.



	   ruby "1.8.7", :engine => "jruby", :engine_version => "1.6.7"



   1mPATCHLEVEL (:patchlevel)0m
       Each application 4mmay24m specify a Ruby patchlevel.



	   ruby "2.0.0", :patchlevel => "247"



1mGEMS (#gem)0m
       Specify gem requirements using the 1mgem 22mmethod, with the following argu-
       ments. All parameters are 1mOPTIONAL 22munless otherwise specified.

   1mNAME (required)0m
       For each gem requirement, list a single 4mgem24m line.



	   gem "nokogiri"



   1mVERSION0m
       Each 4mgem24m 1mMAY 22mhave one or more version specifiers.



	   gem "nokogiri", ">= 1.4.2"
	   gem "RedCloth", ">= 4.1.0", "< 4.2.0"



   1mREQUIRE AS (:require)0m
       Each  4mgem24m  1mMAY 22mspecify files that should be used when autorequiring via
       1mBundler.require22m. You may pass an array with multiple files or  1mtrue  22mif
       file  you  want	1mrequired  22mhas same name as 4mgem24m or 1mfalse 22mto prevent any
       file from being autorequired.



	   gem "redis", :require => ["redis/connection/hiredis", "redis"]
	   gem "webmock", :require => false
	   gem "debugger", :require => true



       The argument defaults to the name of the gem. For  example,  these  are
       identical:



	   gem "nokogiri"
	   gem "nokogiri", :require => "nokogiri"
	   gem "nokogiri", :require => true



   1mGROUPS (:group or :groups)0m
       Each  4mgem24m  1mMAY  22mspecify  membership in one or more groups. Any 4mgem24m that
       does not specify membership in any  group  is  placed  in  the  1mdefault0m
       group.



	   gem "rspec", :group => :test
	   gem "wirble", :groups => [:development, :test]



       The  Bundler  runtime  allows  its  two main methods, 1mBundler.setup 22mand
       1mBundler.require22m, to limit their impact to particular groups.



	   # setup adds gems to Ruby's load path
	   Bundler.setup		    # defaults to all groups
	   require "bundler/setup"	    # same as Bundler.setup
	   Bundler.setup(:default)	    # only set up the _default_ group
	   Bundler.setup(:test) 	    # only set up the _test_ group (but `not` _default_)
	   Bundler.setup(:default, :test)   # set up the _default_ and _test_ groups, but no others

	   # require requires all of the gems in the specified groups
	   Bundler.require		    # defaults to just the _default_ group
	   Bundler.require(:default)	    # identical
	   Bundler.require(:default, :test) # requires the _default_ and _test_ groups
	   Bundler.require(:test)	    # requires just the _test_ group



       The Bundler CLI allows you to specify a list of groups whose gems  1mbun-0m
       1mdle  install  22mshould  not install with the 1m--without 22moption. To specify
       multiple groups to ignore, specify a list of groups separated  by  spa-
       ces.



	   bundle install --without test
	   bundle install --without development test



       After running 1mbundle install --without test22m, bundler will remember that
       you excluded the test group in the last installation. The next time you
       run  1mbundle  install22m, without any 1m--without option22m, bundler will recall
       it.

       Also, calling 1mBundler.setup 22mwith  no  parameters,  or  calling  1mrequire0m
       1m"bundler/setup"  22mwill setup all groups except for the ones you excluded
       via 1m--without 22m(since they are obviously not available).

       Note that on 1mbundle install22m, bundler downloads and evaluates all  gems,
       in  order to create a single canonical list of all of the required gems
       and their dependencies. This means that you cannot list different  ver-
       sions  of  the  same  gems  in  different groups. For more details, see
       Understanding Bundler 4mhttp://bundler.io/rationale.html24m.

   1mPLATFORMS (:platforms)0m
       If a gem should only be used in a particular platform or set  of  plat-
       forms,  you  can  specify  them. Platforms are essentially identical to
       groups, except that you do not need to use the  1m--without  22minstall-time
       flag to exclude groups of gems for other platforms.

       There are a number of 1mGemfile 22mplatforms:

       1mruby	22mC Ruby (MRI) or Rubinius, but 1mNOT 22mWindows

       1mruby_180m
	      4mruby24m 1mAND 22mversion 1.8

       1mruby_190m
	      4mruby24m 1mAND 22mversion 1.9

       1mruby_200m
	      4mruby24m 1mAND 22mversion 2.0

       1mruby_210m
	      4mruby24m 1mAND 22mversion 2.1

       1mruby_220m
	      4mruby24m 1mAND 22mversion 2.2

       1mruby_230m
	      4mruby24m 1mAND 22mversion 2.3

       1mmri	22mSame as 4mruby24m, but not Rubinius

       1mmri_18 4m22mmri24m 1mAND 22mversion 1.8

       1mmri_19 4m22mmri24m 1mAND 22mversion 1.9

       1mmri_20 4m22mmri24m 1mAND 22mversion 2.0

       1mmri_22 4m22mmri24m 1mAND 22mversion 2.2

       1mmri_23 4m22mmri24m 1mAND 22mversion 2.3

       1mrbx	22mSame as 4mruby24m, but only Rubinius (not MRI)

       1mjruby	22mJRuby

       1mmingw	22mWindows 32 bit 'mingw32' platform (aka RubyInstaller)

       1mmingw_180m
	      4mmingw24m 1mAND 22mversion 1.8

       1mmingw_190m
	      4mmingw24m 1mAND 22mversion 1.9

       1mmingw_200m
	      4mmingw24m 1mAND 22mversion 2.0

       1mmingw_210m
	      4mmingw24m 1mAND 22mversion 2.1

       1mmingw_220m
	      4mmingw24m 1mAND 22mversion 2.2

       1mmingw_230m
	      4mmingw24m 1mAND 22mversion 2.3

       1mx64_mingw0m
	      Windows 64 bit 'mingw32' platform (aka RubyInstaller x64)

       1mx64_mingw_200m
	      4mx64_mingw24m 1mAND 22mversion 2.0

       1mx64_mingw_210m
	      4mx64_mingw24m 1mAND 22mversion 2.1

       1mx64_mingw_220m
	      4mx64_mingw24m 1mAND 22mversion 2.2

       1mx64_mingw_230m
	      4mx64_mingw24m 1mAND 22mversion 2.3

       As with groups, you can specify one or more platforms:



	   gem "weakling",   :platforms => :jruby
	   gem "ruby-debug", :platforms => :mri_18
	   gem "nokogiri",   :platforms => [:mri_18, :jruby]



       All   operations   involving  groups  (1mbundle	install22m,  1mBundler.setup22m,
       1mBundler.require22m) behave exactly the same as if any groups not  matching
       the current platform were explicitly excluded.

   1mSOURCE (:source)0m
       You  can  select  an  alternate Rubygems repository for a gem using the
       ':source' option.



	   gem "some_internal_gem", :source => "https://gems.example.com"



       This forces the gem to be loaded  from  this  source  and  ignores  any
       global  sources	declared at the top level of the file. If the gem does
       not exist in this source, it will not be installed.

       Bundler will search for child dependencies of this gem by first looking
       in the source selected for the parent, but if they are not found there,
       it will fall back on global sources using  the  ordering  described  in
       4mSOURCE24m 4mPRIORITY24m.

       Selecting  a  specific  source  repository this way also suppresses the
       ambiguous gem warning described above in 4mGLOBAL24m 4mSOURCES24m 4m(#source)24m.

   1mGIT (:git)0m
       If necessary, you can specify that a gem is located at a particular git
       repository using the 1m:git 22mparameter. The repository can be accessed via
       several protocols:

       1mHTTP(S)0m
	      gem "rails", :git => "https://github.com/rails/rails.git"

       1mSSH	22mgem "rails", :git => "git@github.com:rails/rails.git"

       1mgit	22mgem "rails", :git => "git://github.com/rails/rails.git"

       If using SSH, the user that you use to run 1mbundle install MUST 22mhave the
       appropriate keys available in their 1m$HOME/.ssh22m.

       1mNOTE22m:  1mhttp://  22mand  1mgit://	22mURLs should be avoided if at all possible.
       These protocols are unauthenticated, so	a  man-in-the-middle  attacker
       can  deliver  malicious	code and compromise your system. HTTPS and SSH
       are strongly preferred.

       The 1mgroup22m, 1mplatforms22m, and 1mrequire  22moptions  are  available  and  behave
       exactly the same as they would for a normal gem.

       A  git  repository  1mSHOULD  22mhave  at least one file, at the root of the
       directory containing the gem, with the extension  1m.gemspec22m.  This  file
       1mMUST  22mcontain  a  valid gem specification, as expected by the 1mgem build0m
       command.

       If a git repository does not have a 1m.gemspec22m, bundler will	attempt  to
       create one, but it will not contain any dependencies, executables, or C
       extension compilation instructions. As a result, it may fail  to  prop-
       erly integrate into your application.

       If  a  git  repository does have a 1m.gemspec 22mfor the gem you attached it
       to, a version specifier, if provided, means that the git repository  is
       only  valid  if	the  1m.gemspec 22mspecifies a version matching the version
       specifier. If not, bundler will print a warning.



	   gem "rails", "2.3.8", :git => "https://github.com/rails/rails.git"
	   # bundle install will fail, because the .gemspec in the rails
	   # repository's master branch specifies version 3.0.0



       If a git repository does 1mnot 22mhave a 1m.gemspec 22mfor the gem  you	attached
       it to, a version specifier 1mMUST 22mbe provided. Bundler will use this ver-
       sion in the simple 1m.gemspec 22mit creates.

       Git repositories support a number of additional options.

       1mbranch22m, 1mtag22m, and 1mref0m
	      You 1mMUST 22monly specify at most one of these options. The  default
	      is 1m:branch => "master"0m

       1msubmodules0m
	      Specify  1m:submodules => true 22mto cause bundler to expand any sub-
	      modules included in the git repository

       If a git repository contains multiple 1m.gemspecs22m, each  1m.gemspec  22mrepre-
       sents  a  gem located at the same place in the file system as the 1m.gem-0m
       1mspec22m.



	   |~rails		     [git root]
	   | |-rails.gemspec	     [rails gem located here]
	   |~actionpack
	   | |-actionpack.gemspec    [actionpack gem located here]
	   |~activesupport
	   | |-activesupport.gemspec [activesupport gem located here]
	   |...



       To install a gem located in a git repository, bundler  changes  to  the
       directory  containing the gemspec, runs 1mgem build name.gemspec 22mand then
       installs the resulting gem. The 1mgem build 22mcommand, which comes standard
       with  Rubygems,	evaluates the 1m.gemspec 22min the context of the directory
       in which it is located.

   1mGIT SOURCE (:git_source)0m
       A custom git source can be defined via the 1mgit_source	22mmethod.  Provide
       the  source's  name as an argument, and a block which receives a single
       argument and interpolates it into a string  to  return  the  full  repo
       address:



	   git_source(:stash){ |repo_name| "https://stash.corp.acme.pl/#{repo_name}.git" }
	   gem 'rails', :stash => 'forks/rails'



       In addition, if you wish to choose a specific branch:



	   gem "rails", :stash => "forks/rails", :branch => "branch_name"



   1mGITHUB (:github)0m
       1mNOTE22m: This shorthand should be avoided until Bundler 2.0, since it cur-
       rently expands to an insecure 1mgit:// 22mURL. This allows a man-in-the-mid-
       dle attacker to compromise your system.

       If  the	git repository you want to use is hosted on GitHub and is pub-
       lic, you can use the :github shorthand to specify just the github user-
       name  and repository name (without the trailing ".git"), separated by a
       slash. If both the username and repository name are the same,  you  can
       omit one.



	   gem "rails", :github => "rails/rails"
	   gem "rails", :github => "rails"



       Are both equivalent to



	   gem "rails", :git => "git://github.com/rails/rails.git"



       Since the 1mgithub 22mmethod is a specialization of 1mgit_source22m, it accepts a
       1m:branch 22mnamed argument.

   1mGIST (:gist)0m
       If the git repository you want to use is hosted as a Github Gist and is
       public,	you can use the :gist shorthand to specify just the gist iden-
       tifier (without the trailing ".git").



	   gem "the_hatch", :gist => "4815162342"



       Is equivalent to:



	   gem "the_hatch", :git => "https://gist.github.com/4815162342.git"



       Since the 1mgist 22mmethod is a specialization of 1mgit_source22m, it  accepts  a
       1m:branch 22mnamed argument.

   1mBITBUCKET (:bitbucket)0m
       If  the	git  repository  you want to use is hosted on Bitbucket and is
       public, you can use the :bitbucket shorthand to specify just  the  bit-
       bucket username and repository name (without the trailing ".git"), sep-
       arated by a slash. If both the username and  repository	name  are  the
       same, you can omit one.



	   gem "rails", :bitbucket => "rails/rails"
	   gem "rails", :bitbucket => "rails"



       Are both equivalent to



	   gem "rails", :git => "https://rails@bitbucket.org/rails/rails.git"



       Since  the  1mbitbucket	22mmethod  is  a  specialization  of 1mgit_source22m, it
       accepts a 1m:branch 22mnamed argument.

   1mPATH (:path)0m
       You can specify that a gem is located in a particular location  on  the
       file system. Relative paths are resolved relative to the directory con-
       taining the 1mGemfile22m.

       Similar to the semantics of the 1m:git 22moption, the 1m:path 22moption	requires
       that  the directory in question either contains a 1m.gemspec 22mfor the gem,
       or that you specify an explicit version that bundler should use.

       Unlike 1m:git22m, bundler does not compile C extensions for  gems  specified
       as paths.



	   gem "rails", :path => "vendor/rails"



       If you would like to use multiple local gems directly from the filesys-
       tem, you can set a global 1mpath 22moption to the path containing the  gem's
       files. This will automatically load gemspec files from subdirectories.



	   path 'components' do
	     gem 'admin_ui'
	     gem 'public_ui'
	   end



1mBLOCK FORM OF SOURCE, GIT, PATH, GROUP and PLATFORMS0m
       The 1m:source22m, 1m:git22m, 1m:path22m, 1m:group22m, and 1m:platforms 22moptions may be applied
       to a group of gems by using block form.



	   source "https://gems.example.com" do
	     gem "some_internal_gem"
	     gem "another_internal_gem"
	   end

	   git "https://github.com/rails/rails.git" do
	     gem "activesupport"
	     gem "actionpack"
	   end

	   platforms :ruby do
	     gem "ruby-debug"
	     gem "sqlite3"
	   end

	   group :development, :optional => true do
	     gem "wirble"
	     gem "faker"
	   end



       In the case of the group block form the :optional option can  be  given
       to  prevent  a  group  from being installed unless listed in the 1m--with0m
       option given to the 1mbundle install 22mcommand.

       In the case of the 1mgit 22mblock form, the 1m:ref22m, 1m:branch22m, 1m:tag22m,	and  1m:sub-0m
       1mmodules  22moptions  may  be passed to the 1mgit 22mmethod, and all gems in the
       block will inherit those options.

1mINSTALL_IF (#install_if)0m
       The 1minstall_if 22mmethod allows gems to be installed based on	a  proc  or
       lambda.	This  is  especially useful for optional gems that can only be
       used if certain software is installed or some other conditions are met.



	   install_if -> { RUBY_PLATFORM =~ /darwin/ } do
	     gem "pasteboard"
	   end



1mGEMSPEC (#gemspec)0m
       If you wish to use Bundler to help install dependencies for a gem while
       it  is being developed, use the 1mgemspec 22mmethod to pull in the dependen-
       cies listed in the 1m.gemspec 22mfile.

       The 1mgemspec 22mmethod adds any runtime dependencies as gem requirements in
       the  default  group.  It  also  adds  development  dependencies	as gem
       requirements in the 1mdevelopment 22mgroup. Finally, it adds a gem  require-
       ment on your project (1m:path => '.'22m). In conjunction with 1mBundler.setup22m,
       this allows you to require project files in your test code as you would
       if  the	project  were  installed as a gem; you need not manipulate the
       load path manually or require project files via relative paths.

       The 1mgemspec 22mmethod supports optional 1m:path22m, 1m:glob22m, 1m:name22m, and 1m:develop-0m
       1mment_group 22moptions, which control where bundler looks for the 1m.gemspec22m,
       the glob it uses to look for the  gemspec  (defaults  to:  "{,4m,24m/*}.gem-
       spec"),	what named 1m.gemspec 22mit uses (if more than one is present), and
       which group development dependencies are included in.

1mSOURCE PRIORITY0m
       When attempting to locate a gem to satisfy a gem  requirement,  bundler
       uses the following priority order:

       1.  The source explicitly attached to the gem (using 1m:source22m, 1m:path22m, or
	   1m:git22m)

       2.  For implicit gems (dependencies of explicit gems), any source, git,
	   or  path repository declared on the parent. This results in bundler
	   prioritizing the ActiveSupport gem from the	Rails  git  repository
	   over ones from 1mrubygems.org0m

       3.  The	sources  specified  via  global  1msource  22mlines, searching each
	   source in your 1mGemfile 22mfrom last added to first added.
