where exactly are gems?

when you add a gem to the Gemfile and then run bundle install, where does the command look for the gem? If you had "gem 'rails', :git => 'github.com/rails/rails.git", I assume it would update your system .rvm gems directory with the latest github commits. But what is the default repository that bundler looks for gems?

.bundle

I usualy change it to vendor:

bundle install --path vendor

Type gem env in your Terminal from inside your project folder. You'll see the current lookup path for gems, plus a lot more helpful stuff. If you use rvm or another multiple-ruby enabler, there will be one of these per ruby version.
