bundle-config - Set bundler configuration options
bundle config [name [value]]This command allows you to interact with Bundler's configuration system.
Bundler loads configuration settings in this order:
app/.bundle/config)ENV)~/.bundle/config)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:
bin~/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.deploymentproduction use. Please check carefully if you want to have this option
enabled in development or test environments.pathgem 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.withoutwithYou 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).

A :-separated list of groups whose gems bundler should install.without (BUNDLE_WITHOUT):
A :-separated list of groups whose gems bundler should not install.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.
You'll also need to CGI escape your usernames and passwords as well.
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
Bundler's home, config, cache and plugin directories are able to be configured
through environment variables. The default location for Bundler's home directory is
~/.bundle, which all directories inherit from by default. The following
outlines the available environment variables and their default values
BUNDLE_USER_HOME : $HOME/.bundle
BUNDLE_USER_CACHE : $BUNDLE_USER_HOME/cache
BUNDLE_USER_CONFIG : $BUNDLE_USER_HOME/config
BUNDLE_USER_PLUGIN : $BUNDLE_USER_HOME/plugin
