Bundler is the standard dependency manager for Ruby applications, tracking and installing the exact gems and versions a project needs via a Gemfile and Gemfile.lock. This repository is the historical home of Bundler, which has since been merged into and maintained within the rubygems/rubygems repository.
Use cases
- manage gem dependencies for a ruby application
- lock exact gem versions so every machine runs the same code
- install gems listed in a Gemfile with bundle install
- update project gems to newer compatible versions
- run executables in the context of the bundle with bundle exec
When to choose
- you are building or maintaining a Ruby application with external gem dependencies
- you need reproducible gem installs across development, staging, and production
- you want automatic dependency resolution and version compatibility checks for gems
When to avoid
- you are not working in the Ruby ecosystem
- you need to contribute to Bundler development - the project now lives in rubygems/rubygems
- you need a general-purpose package manager for non-gem artifacts
