You Don't Know Bundler

Rails Israel 2013 Conference, Wednesday, October 9, 2013, 16:30

Bundler has turned out to be a super-useful tool for installing and managing dependencies, but it has hidden depths. Here are some ways you can use Bundler's mostly known depths to boost your development productivity. Learn how to use Bundler on a high-latency connection, or with no connection at all.

Review the lesser-known but very handy commands like `bundle gem` and `bundle open`. See how to guarantee your app's version of Ruby, how to search through the source of every gem in your Gemfile, and how to check for newer versions of the gems you use.

Level up your development workflow so you can edit an app and a gem simultaneously, or use a gem that's not in your Gemfile. Explore the reasons `bundle exec` exists, and ways you can keep from needing it.
