history

Project history and usage

rbenv-gemset is an rbenv plugin for creating and selecting sandboxed collections of Ruby gems globally or per project.

Project history

Jamis Buck started rbenv-gemset in 2011. Joe Fiorini became maintainer in May 2012, followed by Jeffrey Lim in July 2013.

Version 0.4.0 introduced project-local gemsets, allowing gems to be installed inside an application's directory.

Adoption history

The plugin became part of the wider rbenv plugin ecosystem and is distributed through Homebrew. Its README also records support in RubyMine 8.

How it is used

Users initialize or select gemsets with `rbenv gemset`, or list desired gemsets in `.rbenv-gemsets`. The plugin searches the current directory and its ancestors, with `.ruby-gemset` supported as a compatibility filename.

A gemset beginning with `.` or `./` is stored within the project directory, making experimental or project-specific gem installations easy to inspect and remove.

Why package nerds care

rbenv-gemset represents the gemset-oriented branch of Ruby environment management: it adds isolated gem collections while retaining rbenv's small, hook-based architecture. It is especially relevant when comparing rbenv workflows with RVM-style gemsets and Bundler-centered dependency isolation.

Timeline

  • 2011: Jamis Buck started the project.
  • May 2012: Joe Fiorini took over maintenance.
  • July 2013: Jeffrey Lim took over maintenance.
  • Version 0.4.0: Project-local gemsets were introduced.

Related projects

  • rbenv supplies the Ruby-version-management and plugin framework on which rbenv-gemset operates.
  • Bundler provides application dependency resolution and is often used alongside, or instead of, explicit gemsets.
