For git gems, a forced checkout will be performed. + +For further explanation, `bundle pristine` ignores unpacked files on disk. In other +words, this command utilizes the local `.gem` cache or the gem's git repository +as if one were installing from scratch. + +Note: the Bundler gem cannot be restored to its original state with `pristine`. +One also cannot use `bundle pristine` on gems with a 'path' option in the Gemfile, +because bundler has no original copy it can restore from. + +When is it practical to use `bundle pristine`? + +It comes in handy when a developer is debugging a gem. `bundle pristine` is a +great way to get rid of experimental changes to a gem that one may not want. + +Why use `bundle pristine` over `gem pristine --all`? + +Both commands are very similar. +For context: `bundle pristine`, without arguments, cleans all gems from the lockfile. +Meanwhile, `gem pristine --all` cleans all installed gems for that Ruby version. + +If a developer forgets which gems in their project they might +have been debugging, the Rubygems `gem pristine [GEMNAME]` command may be inconvenient. +One can avoid waiting for `gem pristine --all`, and instead run `bundle pristine`. |
