Description

Lock the gems specified in Gemfile.

Options

--update[=<list>]
Ignores the existing lockfile. Resolve then updates lockfile. Taking a list of gems or updating all gems if no list is given.
--bundler[=BUNDLER]
Update the locked version of bundler to the given version or the latest version if no version is given.
--local
Do not attempt to connect to rubygems.org. Instead, Bundler will use the gems already present in Rubygems' cache or in vendor/cache. Note that if a appropriate platform-specific gem exists on rubygems.org it will not be found.
--print
Prints the lockfile to STDOUT instead of writing to the file system.
--lockfile=LOCKFILE
The path where the lockfile should be written to.
--full-index
Fall back to using the single-file index of all gems.
--gemfile=GEMFILE
Use the specified gemfile instead of Gemfile(5).
--add-checksums
Add checksums to the lockfile.
--add-platform=<list>
Add a new platform to the lockfile, re-resolving for the addition of that platform.
--remove-platform=<list>
Remove a platform from the lockfile.
--normalize-platforms
Normalize lockfile platforms.
--patch
If updating, prefer updating only to next patch version.
--minor
If updating, prefer updating only to next minor version.
--major
If updating, prefer updating to next major version (default).
--pre
If updating, always choose the highest allowed version, regardless of prerelease status.
--strict
If updating, do not allow any gem to be updated past latest --patch | --minor | --major.
--conservative
If updating, use bundle install conservative update behavior and do not allow shared dependencies to be updated.

Updating All Gems

If you run bundle lock with --update option without list of gems, bundler will ignore any previously installed gems and resolve all dependencies again based on the latest versions of all gems available in the sources.

Updating A List Of Gems

Sometimes, you want to update a single gem in the Gemfile(5), and leave the rest of the gems that you specified locked to the versions in the Gemfile.lock.

For instance, you only want to update nokogiri, run bundle lock --update nokogiri.

Bundler will update nokogiri and any of its dependencies, but leave the rest of the gems that you specified locked to the versions in the Gemfile.lock.

Supporting Other Platforms

If you want your bundle to support platforms other than the one you're running locally, you can run bundle lock --add-platform PLATFORM to add PLATFORM to the lockfile, force bundler to re-resolve and consider the new platform when picking gems, all without needing to have a machine that matches PLATFORM handy to install those platform-specific gems on.

For a full explanation of gem platforms, see gem help platform.

Patch Level Options

See bundle update(1) for details.
