bundle-config
- Set bundler configuration options
bundle config
[name [value]]
This command allows you to interact with bundler's configuration system.
Bundler retrieves its configuration from the local application (app/.bundle/config
),
environment variables, and the user's home directory (~/.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 configuration
was set.
Executing bundle config <name>
will print the value of that configuration
setting, and where it was set.
Executing bundle config <name> <value>
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 <name> <value>
works the same as above.
Executing bundle config --local <name> <value>
will set that configuration to
the local application. The configuration will be stored in app/.bundle/config
.
Executing bundle config --delete <name>
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.
Executing bundle config disable_multisource true
upgrades the warning about
the Gemfile containing multiple primary sources to an error. Executing bundle
config --delete disable_multisource
downgrades this error to a warning.
Flags passed to bundle install
or the Bundler runtime,
such as --path foo
or --without production
, are not remembered between commands.
If these options must be remembered,they must be set using bundle config
(e.g., bundle config path foo
).
The options that can be configured are:
binstubs
~/bin
) and place any executables from the
gem there. These executables run in Bundler's context. If used, you might add
this directory to your environment's PATH
variable. For instance, if the
rails
gem comes with a rails
executable, this flag will create a
bin/rails
executable that ensures that all referred dependencies will be
resolved using the bundled gems.deployment
production
use. Please check carefully if you want to have this option
enabled in development
or test
environments.path
gem install ...
will
have gem installed there, too. Therefore, gems installed without a
--path ...
setting will show up by calling gem list
. Accordingly, gems
installed to other locations will not get listed.without
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 in bundler have two forms: the canonical form and the environment variable form.
For instance, passing the --without
flag to bundle install(1)
prevents Bundler from installing certain groups specified in the Gemfile(5). Bundler
persists this value in app/.bundle/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) 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 BUNDLE_WITHOUT
.
Any periods in the configuration keys must be replaced with two underscores when
setting it via environment variables. The configuration key local.rack
becomes
the environment variable BUNDLE_LOCAL__RACK
.
The following is a list of all configuration keys and their purpose. You can learn more about their operation in bundle install(1).
path
(BUNDLE_PATH
):
The location on disk where all gems in your bundle will be located regardless
of $GEM_HOME
or $GEM_PATH
values. Bundle gems not found in this location
will be installed by bundle install
. Defaults to Gem.dir
. When --deployment is
used, defaults to vendor/bundle.frozen
(BUNDLE_FROZEN
):
Disallow changes to the Gemfile
. Defaults to true
when --deployment
is used.without
(BUNDLE_WITHOUT
):
A :
-separated list of groups whose gems bundler should not installbin
(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 current 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.cache_path
(BUNDLE_CACHE_PATH
): The directory that bundler will place
cached gems in when running bundle package
, and that bundler
will look in when installing gems. Defaults to vendor/bundle
.disable_multisource
(BUNDLE_DISABLE_MULTISOURCE
): When set, Gemfiles
containing multiple sources will produce errors instead of warnings. Use
bundle config --delete disable_multisource
to unset.ignore_messages
(BUNDLE_IGNORE_MESSAGES
): When set, no post install
messages will be printed. To silence a single gem, use dot notation like
ignore_messages.httparty true
.retry
(BUNDLE_RETRY
):
The number of times to retry failed network requests. Defaults to 3
.redirect
(BUNDLE_REDIRECT
):
The number of redirects allowed for network requests. Defaults to 5
.timeout
(BUNDLE_TIMEOUT
):
The seconds allowed before timing out for network requests. Defaults to 10
.force_ruby_platform
(BUNDLE_FORCE_RUBY_PLATFORM
):
Ignore the current machine's platform and install only ruby
platform gems.
As a result, gems with native extensions will be compiled from source.specific_platform
(BUNDLE_SPECIFIC_PLATFORM
):
Allow bundler to resolve for the specific running platform and store it in
the lockfile, instead of only using a generic platform.
A specific platform is the exact platform triple reported by
Gem::Platform.local
, such as x86_64-darwin-16
or universal-java-1.8
.
On the other hand, generic platforms are those such as ruby
, mswin
, or
java
. In this example, x86_64-darwin-16
would map to ruby
and
universal-java-1.8
to java
.disable_checksum_validation
(BUNDLE_DISABLE_CHECKSUM_VALIDATION
):
Allow installing gems even if they do not match the checksum provided by
RubyGems.disable_version_check

(BUNDLE_CACHE_ALL
):
Cache all gems, including path and git gems.clean
(BUNDLE_CLEAN
):
Whether Bundler should run bundle clean
automatically after
bundle install
.console
(BUNDLE_CONSOLE

Gemfile.disable_shared_gems
(BUNDLE_DISABLE_SHARED_GEMS
):
Stop Bundler from accessing gems installed to RubyGems' normal location.jobs

be changed in the next major version.no_install
(BUNDLE_NO_INSTALL
):
Whether bundle package
should skip installing gems.no_prune
(BUNDLE_NO_PRUNE
):
Whether Bundler should leave outdated gems unpruned when caching.only_update_to_newer_versions
(BUNDLE_ONLY_UPDATE_TO_NEWER_VERSIONS
):
During bundle update
, only resolve to newer versions of the gems in the
lockfile.plugins
(BUNDLE_PLUGINS

):
The location where RubyGems installs binstubs. Defaults to Gem.bindir
.user_agent
(BUNDLE_USER_AGENT
):
The custom user agent fragment Bundler includes in API requests.In general, you should set these settings per-application by using the applicable flag to the bundle install(1) or bundle package(1) command.
You can set them globally either via environment variables or bundle config
,
whichever is preferable for your setup. If you use both, environment variables
will take preference over global settings.
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
override 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 commit 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
Gemfile.lock
exists in the local git repository. By doing this, Bundler
forces you to fetch the latest changes in the remotes.
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.SOURCE_URL MIRROR_URL
For example, to use a mirror of rubygems.org hosted at rubygems-mirror.org:
bundle config mirror.http://rubygems.org http://rubygems-mirror.org
Each mirror also provides a fallback timeout setting. If the mirror does not respond within the fallback timeout, Bundler will try to use the original server instead of the mirror.
bundle config mirror.SOURCE_URL.fallback_timeout TIMEOUT
For example, to fall back to rubygems.org after 3 seconds:
bundle config mirror.https://rubygems.org.fallback_timeout 3
The default fallback timeout is 0.1 seconds, but the setting can currently only accept whole seconds (for example, 1, 15, or 30).
Bundler allows you to configure credentials for any gem source, which allows you to avoid putting secrets into your Gemfile.
bundle config SOURCE_HOSTNAME USERNAME:PASSWORD
For example, to save the credentials of user claudette
for the gem source at
gems.longerous.com
, you would run:
bundle config gems.longerous.com claudette:s00pers3krit
Or you can set the credentials as an environment variable like this:
export BUNDLE_GEMS__LONGEROUS__COM="claudette:s00pers3krit"
For gems with a git source with HTTP(S) URL you can specify credentials like so:
bundle config https://github.com/bundler/bundler.git username:password
Or you can set the credentials as an environment variable like so:
export BUNDLE_GITHUB__COM=username:password
This is especially useful for private repositories on hosts such as Github, where you can use personal OAuth tokens:
export BUNDLE_GITHUB__COM=abcd0123generatedtoken:x-oauth-basic
