<div class='contents'>
  <div class='bullet'>
    <div class='description'>
      Bundler adds the ability to use gems directly from git repositories. Setting
      them up is as easy as adding a gem to your Gemfile. Using the very latest
      version of a gem (or even a fork) is just as easy as using an official
      release.
    </div>
    <div class='description'>
      Because Rubygems lacks the ability to handle gems from git, any gems
      installed from a git repository will not show up in <code>gem list</code>.
      They will, however, be available after running <code>Bundler.setup</code>.
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class='bullet'>
    <div class='description'>
      Specify that a gem should come from a git
      repository with a .gemspec at its root

  </div>
  <div class='bullet'>
    <div class='description'>
      If there is no .gemspec at the root of
      a git repository, you must specify a version
      that bundler should use when resolving
      dependencies

    <pre class="sunburst">gem <span class="String"><span class="String">'</span>deep_merge<span class="String">'</span></span>, <span class="String"><span class="String">'</span>1.0<span class="String">'</span></span>, <span class="Constant"><span class="Constant">:</span>git</span> =&gt; <span class="String"><span class="String">'</span>git://github.com/peritor/deep_merge.git<span class="String">'</span></span>&#x000A;</pre>

      Specifying a ref, branch, or tag for a

    <div class='description'>
      If you are getting your gems from a public GitHub repository,
      you can use the shorthand

<div class='contents'>
  <div class='bullet'>
    <div class='description'>
      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:
    </div>
    <pre class='sunburst'>bundle config local.GEM_NAME /path/to/local/git/repository&#x000A;</pre>
  </div>
  <div class='bullet'>
    <div class='description'>
      For example, in order to use a local Rack repository, a developer could call:
    </div>
    <pre class='sunburst'>bundle config local.rack ~/Work/git/rack</pre>
    <div class='description'>
      and setup the git repo pointing to a branch:
    </div>
    <pre class="sunburst">gem <span class="String"><span class="String">'</span>rack<span class="String">'</span></span>, <span class="Constant"><span class="Constant">:</span>github</span> =&gt; <span class="String"><span class="String">'</span>rack/rack<span class="String">'</span></span>, <span class="Constant"><span class="Constant">:</span>branch</span> =&gt; <span class="String"><span class="String">'</span>master<span class="String">'</span></span>&#x000A;</pre>
  </div>
  <div class='bullet'>
    <div class='description'>
      <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 <code>Gemfile.lock</code> 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.
      </p>
      <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 <code>Gemfile</code> in order to use this feature. If the branch
        specified in the <code>Gemfile</code> 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>
      <p>
        Finally, Bundler also ensures that the current revision in the
        <code>Gemfile.lock</code> exists in the local git repository. By doing this, Bundler
        forces you to fetch the latest changes in the remotes.
      </p>
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class='bullet'>
    <div class='description'>
      <p>If you do not want bundler to make these branch checks, you can override it by setting this option:</p>
    </div>
    <pre class='sunburst'>bundle config disable_local_branch_check true</pre>
