使用命令行中的bundler将gem添加到gemfile

Question

When using node package manager you can specify npm install --save mynodemodule which automatically pops the module in package.json

I was wondering if there is a command for bundler that allows you to add the gem and version to the gemfile from the command line?

For example bundle install --save nokogiri

Answer 1

Just wrote Gemrat to do this.

    $ gem install gemrat 
    $ gemrat nokogiri

    #=> gem 'nokogiri', '1.6.0' added to your Gemfile.
    #=> Bundling...

Answer 2

If you visit this question in 2018, bundler now has a cli to do this: bundle add <gem-name> <version>

Version string could be your typical gem version including >= and ~

Answer 3

echo 'gem "nokogiri"' >> Gemfile

Answer 4

as @zocoi described, you can use bundle and specify the group:

bundle add rails --group "development, test"
