How to use gemset in rbenv?

Question

I'm new to the concept of gemset and I'm trying to create a new gemset for my existing project.

I've installed the plugin and followed the steps as mentioned here

https://github.com/jf/rbenv-gemset

Can anyone tell me what is the exact way to use the gemset in an existing project?

Answer 1

Gemsets are nice if you work on multiple projects and don't want to pollute/break your global gemset when you install your various gems.

You can create a local file in your project dir like the docs say:

echo "my-cool-project" > .rbenv-gemsets

Now when you switch to that dir your project will use the gemset called my-cool-project
