.
.SH "NAME"
\fBbundle\-config\fR \- Set bundler configuration options
.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
\fBbundle config\fR [list|get|set|unset] [\fIname\fR [\fIvalue\fR]]
.
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
This command allows you to interact with Bundler\'s configuration system\.
.
.P
Bundler loads configuration settings in this order:
.
.IP "1." 4
Local config (\fB<project_root>/\.bundle/config\fR or \fB$BUNDLE_APP_CONFIG/config\fR)
.
.IP "2." 4
Environmental variables (\fBENV\fR)
.
.IP "3." 4
Global config (\fB~/\.bundle/config\fR)
.
.IP "4." 4
Bundler default config
.
.IP "" 0
.
.P
Executing \fBbundle config list\fR with will print a list of all bundler configuration for the current bundle, and where that configuration was set\.
.
.P
Executing \fBbundle config get <name>\fR will print the value of that configuration setting, and where it was set\.
.
.P
Executing \fBbundle config set <name> <value>\fR will set that configuration to the value specified for all bundles executed as the current user\. The configuration will be stored in \fB~/\.bundle/config\fR\. If \fIname\fR already is set, \fIname\fR will be overridden and user will be warned\.
.
.P
Executing \fBbundle config set \-\-global <name> <value>\fR works the same as above\.
.
.P
Executing \fBbundle config set \-\-local <name> <value>\fR will set that configuration in the directory for the local application\. The configuration will be stored in \fB<project_root>/\.bundle/config\fR\. If \fBBUNDLE_APP_CONFIG\fR is set, the configuration will be stored in \fB$BUNDLE_APP_CONFIG/config\fR\.
.
.P
Executing \fBbundle config unset <name>\fR will delete the configuration in both local and global sources\.
.
.P
Executing \fBbundle config unset \-\-global <name>\fR will delete the configuration only from the user configuration\.
.
.P
Executing \fBbundle config unset \-\-local <name> <value>\fR will delete the configuration only from the local application\.
.
.P
Executing bundle with the \fBBUNDLE_IGNORE_CONFIG\fR environment variable set will cause it to ignore all configuration\.
.
.SH "REMEMBERING OPTIONS"
Flags passed to \fBbundle install\fR or the Bundler runtime, such as \fB\-\-path foo\fR or \fB\-\-without production\fR, are remembered between commands and saved to your local application\'s configuration (normally, \fB\./\.bundle/config\fR)\.
.
.P
However, this will be changed in bundler 3, so it\'s better not to rely on this behavior\. If these options must be remembered, it\'s better to set them using \fBbundle config\fR (e\.g\., \fBbundle config set \-\-local path foo\fR)\.
.
.P
The options that can be configured are:
.
.TP
\fBbin\fR
Creates a directory (defaults to \fB~/bin\fR) 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 \fBPATH\fR variable\. For instance, if the \fBrails\fR gem comes with a \fBrails\fR executable, this flag will create a \fBbin/rails\fR executable that ensures that all referred dependencies will be resolved using the bundled gems\.
.
.TP
\fBdeployment\fR
In deployment mode, Bundler will \'roll\-out\' the bundle for \fBproduction\fR use\. Please check carefully if you want to have this option enabled in \fBdevelopment\fR or \fBtest\fR environments\.
.
.TP
\fBpath\fR
The location to install the specified gems to\. This defaults to Rubygems\' setting\. Bundler shares this location with Rubygems, \fBgem install \.\.\.\fR will have gem installed there, too\. Therefore, gems installed without a \fB\-\-path \.\.\.\fR setting will show up by calling \fBgem list\fR\. Accordingly, gems installed to other locations will not get listed\.
.
.TP
\fBwithout\fR
A space\-separated list of groups referencing gems to skip during installation\.
.
.TP
\fBwith\fR
A space\-separated list of groups referencing gems to include during installation\.
.
.SH "BUILD OPTIONS"
You can use \fBbundle config\fR to give Bundler the flags to pass to the gem installer every time bundler tries to install a particular gem\.
.
.P
A very common example, the \fBmysql\fR gem, requires Snow Leopard users to pass configuration flags to \fBgem install\fR to specify where to find the \fBmysql_config\fR executable\.
.
.IP "" 4
.
.nf

gem install mysql \-\- \-\-with\-mysql\-config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config
.
.fi
.
.IP "" 0
.
.P
Since the specific location of that executable can change from machine to machine, you can specify these flags on a per\-machine basis\.
.
.IP "" 4
.
.nf

bundle config set \-\-global build\.mysql \-\-with\-mysql\-config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config
.
.fi
.
.IP "" 0
.
.P
After running this command, every time bundler needs to install the \fBmysql\fR gem, it will pass along the flags you specified\.
.
.SH "CONFIGURATION KEYS"
Configuration keys in bundler have two forms: the canonical form and the environment variable form\.
.
.P
For instance, passing the \fB\-\-without\fR flag to bundle install(1) \fIbundle\-install\.1\.html\fR prevents Bundler from installing certain groups specified in the Gemfile(5)\. Bundler persists this value in \fBapp/\.bundle/config\fR so that calls to \fBBundler\.setup\fR do not try to find gems from the \fBGemfile\fR that you didn\'t install\. Additionally, subsequent calls to bundle install(1) \fIbundle\-install\.1\.html\fR remember this setting and skip those groups\.
.
.P
The canonical form of this configuration is \fB"without"\fR\. To convert the canonical form to the environment variable form, capitalize it, and prepend \fBBUNDLE_\fR\. The environment variable form of \fB"without"\fR is \fBBUNDLE_WITHOUT\fR\.
.
.P
Any periods in the configuration keys must be replaced with two underscores when setting it via environment variables\. The configuration key \fBlocal\.rack\fR becomes the environment variable \fBBUNDLE_LOCAL__RACK\fR\.
.
.SH "LIST OF AVAILABLE KEYS"
The following is a list of all configuration keys and their purpose\. You can learn more about their operation in bundle install(1) \fIbundle\-install\.1\.html\fR\.

.
.IP "\(bu" 4
\fBwithout\fR (\fBBUNDLE_WITHOUT\fR): A \fB:\fR\-separated list of groups whose gems bundler should not install\.
.
.IP "" 0
.
.P
In general, you should set these settings per\-application by using the applicable flag to the bundle install(1) \fIbundle\-install\.1\.html\fR or bundle package(1) \fIbundle\-package\.1\.html\fR command\.
.
.P
You can set them globally either via environment variables or \fBbundle config\fR, whichever is preferable for your setup\. If you use both, environment variables will take preference over global settings\.
.
.SH "LOCAL GIT REPOS"
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:
.
.IP "" 4
.
.nf

bundle config set \-\-local local\.GEM_NAME /path/to/local/git/repository
.
.fi
.
.IP "" 0
.
.P
For example, in order to use a local Rack repository, a developer could call:
.
.IP "" 4
.
.nf

bundle config set \-\-local local\.rack ~/Work/git/rack
.
.fi
.
.IP "" 0
.
.P
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 \fBGemfile\.lock\fR 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\.
.
.P
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 \fBGemfile\fR in order to use this feature\. If the branch specified in the \fBGemfile\fR 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\.
.
.P
Finally, Bundler also ensures that the current revision in the \fBGemfile\.lock\fR exists in the local git repository\. By doing this, Bundler forces you to fetch the latest changes in the remotes\.
.
.SH "MIRRORS OF GEM SOURCES"
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\.
.
.IP "" 4
.
.nf

bundle config set \-\-global mirror\.SOURCE_URL MIRROR_URL
.
.fi
.
.IP "" 0
.
.P
For example, to use a mirror of rubygems\.org hosted at rubygems\-mirror\.org:
.
.IP "" 4
.
.nf

bundle config set \-\-global mirror\.http://rubygems\.org http://rubygems\-mirror\.org
.
.fi
.
.IP "" 0
.
.P
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\.
.
.IP "" 4
.
.nf

bundle config set \-\-global mirror\.SOURCE_URL\.fallback_timeout TIMEOUT
.
.fi
.
.IP "" 0
.
.P
For example, to fall back to rubygems\.org after 3 seconds:
.
.IP "" 4
.
.nf

bundle config set \-\-global mirror\.https://rubygems\.org\.fallback_timeout 3
.
.fi
.
.IP "" 0
.
.P
The default fallback timeout is 0\.1 seconds, but the setting can currently only accept whole seconds (for example, 1, 15, or 30)\.
.
.SH "CREDENTIALS FOR GEM SOURCES"
Bundler allows you to configure credentials for any gem source, which allows you to avoid putting secrets into your Gemfile\.
.
.IP "" 4
.
.nf

bundle config set \-\-global SOURCE_HOSTNAME USERNAME:PASSWORD
.
.fi
.
.IP "" 0
.
.P
For example, to save the credentials of user \fBclaudette\fR for the gem source at \fBgems\.longerous\.com\fR, you would run:
.
.IP "" 4
.
.nf

bundle config set \-\-global gems\.longerous\.com claudette:s00pers3krit
.
.fi
.
.IP "" 0
.
.P
Or you can set the credentials as an environment variable like this:
.
.IP "" 4
.
.nf

export BUNDLE_GEMS__LONGEROUS__COM="claudette:s00pers3krit"
.
.fi
.
.IP "" 0
.
.P
For gems with a git source with HTTP(S) URL you can specify credentials like so:
.
.IP "" 4
.
.nf

bundle config set \-\-global https://github\.com/rubygems/rubygems\.git username:password
.
.fi
.
.IP "" 0
.
.P
Or you can set the credentials as an environment variable like so:
.
.IP "" 4
.
.nf

export BUNDLE_GITHUB__COM=username:password
.
.fi
.
.IP "" 0
.
.P
This is especially useful for private repositories on hosts such as GitHub, where you can use personal OAuth tokens:
.
.IP "" 4
.
.nf

export BUNDLE_GITHUB__COM=abcd0123generatedtoken:x\-oauth\-basic
.
.fi
.
.IP "" 0
.
.P
Note that any configured credentials will be redacted by informative commands such as \fBbundle config list\fR or \fBbundle config get\fR, unless you use the \fB\-\-parseable\fR flag\. This is to avoid unintentionally leaking credentials when copy\-pasting bundler output\.
.
.P
Also note that to guarantee a sane mapping between valid environment variable names and valid host names, bundler makes the following transformations:
.
.IP "\(bu" 4
Any \fB\-\fR characters in a host name are mapped to a triple dash (\fB___\fR) in the corresponding environment variable\.
.
.IP "\(bu" 4
Any \fB\.\fR characters in a host name are mapped to a double dash (\fB__\fR) in the corresponding environment variable\.
.
.IP "" 0
.
.P
This means that if you have a gem server named \fBmy\.gem\-host\.com\fR, you\'ll need to use the \fBBUNDLE_MY__GEM___HOST__COM\fR variable to configure credentials for it through ENV\.
.
.SH "CONFIGURE BUNDLER DIRECTORIES"
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 \fB~/\.bundle\fR, which all directories inherit from by default\. The following outlines the available environment variables and their default values
.
.IP "" 4
.
.nf

BUNDLE_USER_HOME : $HOME/\.bundle
BUNDLE_USER_CACHE : $BUNDLE_USER_HOME/cache
BUNDLE_USER_CONFIG : $BUNDLE_USER_HOME/config
