BUNDLE-CONFIG(1) BUNDLE-CONFIG(1) NAME bundle-config - Set bundler configuration options SYNOPSIS bundle config [name [value]] DESCRIPTION This command allows you to interact with bundler's configuration sys- tem. Bundler retrieves its configuration from the local application (app/.bundle/config), environment variables, and the user's home direc- tory (~/.bundle/config), in that order of priority. Executing bundle config with no parameters will print a list of all bundler configuration for the current bundle, and where that configura- tion was set. Executing bundle config will print the value of that configura- tion setting, and where it was set. Executing bundle config will set that configuration to the value specified for all bundles executed as the current user. The configuration will be stored in ~/.bundle/config. If name already is set, name will be overridden and user will be warned. Executing bundle config --global works the same as above. Executing bundle config --local will set that configura- tion to the local application. The configuration will be stored in app/.bundle/config. Executing bundle config --delete will delete the configuration in both local and global sources. Not compatible with --global or --local flag. Executing bundle with the BUNDLE_IGNORE_CONFIG environment variable set will cause it to ignore all configuration. BUILD OPTIONS You can use bundle config to give bundler the flags to pass to the gem installer every time bundler tries to install a particular gem. A very common example, the mysql gem, requires Snow Leopard users to pass configuration flags to gem install to specify where to find the mysql_config executable. gem install mysql -- --with-mysql-config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config Since the specific location of that executable can change from machine to machine, you can specify these flags on a per-machine basis. bundle config build.mysql --with-mysql-config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config After running this command, every time bundler needs to install the mysql gem, it will pass along the flags you specified. CONFIGURATION KEYS Configuration keys in bundler have two forms: the canonical form and the environment variable form. For instance, passing the --without flag to bundle install(1) bun- dle-install.1.html prevents Bundler from installing certain groups specified in the Gemfile(5). Bundler persists this value in app/.bun- dle/config so that calls to Bundler.setup do not try to find gems from the Gemfile that you didn't install. Additionally, subsequent calls to bundle install(1) bundle-install.1.html remember this setting and skip those groups. The canonical form of this configuration is "without". To convert the canonical form to the environment variable form, capitalize it, and prepend BUNDLE_. The environment variable form of "without" is BUN- DLE_WITHOUT. LIST OF AVAILABLE KEYS The following is a list of all configuration keys and their purpose. You can learn more about their operation in bundle install(1) bun- dle-install.1.html. path (BUNDLE_PATH) The location on disk to install gems. Defaults to $GEM_HOME in development and vendor/bundler when --deployment is used frozen (BUNDLE_FROZEN) Disallow changes to the Gemfile. Defaults to true when --deploy- ment is used. without (BUNDLE_WITHOUT) A :-separated list of groups whose gems bundler should not install bin (BUNDLE_BIN) Install executables from gems in the bundle to the specified directory. Defaults to false. gemfile (BUNDLE_GEMFILE) The name of the file that bundler should use as the Gemfile. This location of this file also sets the root of the project, which is used to resolve relative paths in the Gemfile, among other things. By default, bundler will search up from the cur- rent working directory until it finds a Gemfile. ssl_ca_cert (BUNDLE_SSL_CA_CERT) Path to a designated CA certificate file or folder containing multiple certificates for trusted CAs in PEM format. ssl_client_cert (BUNDLE_SSL_CLIENT_CERT) Path to a designated file containing a X.509 client certificate and key in PEM format. In general, you should set these settings per-application by using the applicable flag to the bundle install(1) bundle-install.1.html command. You can set them globally either via environment variables or bundle config, whichever is preferable for your setup. If you use both, envi- ronment variables will take preference over global settings. LOCAL GIT REPOS Bundler also allows you to work against a git repository locally instead of using the remote version. This can be achieved by setting up a local override: bundle config local.GEM_NAME /path/to/local/git/repository For example, in order to use a local Rack repository, a developer could call: bundle config local.rack ~/Work/git/rack Now instead of checking out the remote git repository, the local over- ride will be used. Similar to a path source, every time the local git repository change, changes will be automatically picked up by Bundler. This means a commit in the local git repo will update the revision in the Gemfile.lock to the local git repo revision. This requires the same attention as git submodules. Before pushing to the remote, you need to ensure the local override was pushed, otherwise you may point to a com- mit that only exists in your local machine. Bundler does many checks to ensure a developer won't work with invalid references. Particularly, we force a developer to specify a branch in the Gemfile in order to use this feature. If the branch specified in the Gemfile and the current branch in the local git repository do not match, Bundler will abort. This ensures that a developer is always working against the correct branches, and prevents accidental locking to a different branch. Finally, Bundler also ensures that the current revision in the Gem- file.lock exists in the local git repository. By doing this, Bundler forces you to fetch the latest changes in the remotes. MIRRORS OF GEM REPOSITORIES Bundler supports overriding gem sources with mirrors. This allows you to configure rubygems.org as the gem source in your Gemfile while still using your mirror to fetch gems. bundle config mirror.http://rubygems.org http://rubygems-mirror.org January 2014 BUNDLE-CONFIG(1)
