Add gem to gemfile with bundler from command line


When using node package manager you can specify npm install --save mynodemodule which automatically pops the module in package.json

I was wondering if there is a command for bundler that allows you to add the gem and version to the gemfile from the command line?

For example bundle install --save nokogiri


Solution

  • If you visit this question in 2018, bundler now has a cli to do this: bundle add <gem-name> <version>

    Version string could be your typical gem version including >= and ~
