installing gems on

rubyonrails-talk

Hi

I am working in a linux ruby rails environment and would like to install some gems but ensure that i they only work within my branch of the code and are not put into the gem path so that they are visible to everyone else

How can I do this?

my current gem env is

[ta84@ukird135 ~/projects/RB-3.7-dev01]$ gem env

Use rvm, then each user and rails app can have a different set of gems https://rvm.io

In fact it is highly recommended to use rvm anyway.
