history
Project history and usage
rbenv-bundler is an rbenv plugin that makes shims resolve executables installed within Bundler-managed project environments, reducing the need to type `bundle exec`.
Project history
rbenv-bundler began tagging releases in 2011. It evolved from a shim enhancement into a profile-and-manifest system capable of locating executables that satisfy each project's Gemfile constraints.
The project became opt-in in version 0.98, added later Bundler compatibility fixes, and reached version 1.0.1 in 2021 with a correction for platform-gem discovery in Gemfile.lock.
Adoption history
The plugin was distributed through Homebrew in addition to its standard rbenv plugin installation. Its version history records portability work for macOS, Linux, and BSD systems and compatibility fixes across changing Bundler releases.
Its specialized role reflects the rbenv ecosystem's preference for optional shell plugins instead of folding Bundler-aware gem execution into the core version manager.
How it is used
Users enable the plugin with `rbenv bundler on`, select a project Ruby, install Bundler, and run `bundle install`. Rehash hooks then expose compatible project gem executables through ordinary rbenv shims.
The implementation reads project-local `.bundle/config` and falls back to `~/.bundle/config`. These files configure Bundler and are not credential stores.
Why package nerds care
rbenv-bundler is an instructive example of deep integration between three layers of Ruby tooling: rbenv's PATH shims, RubyGems executable layouts, and Bundler's dependency resolution.
Its long version history documents packaging edge cases involving platform gems, Git dependencies, Rubinius, Homebrew symlinks, cross-platform hashing, and Bundler configuration discovery.
Timeline
- 2011: Release tagging began with version 0.90.
- 2012: The plugin added user-level Bundler config fallback and was relicensed under Apache-2.0.
- 2014: Version 0.98 made integration opt-in and improved Homebrew compatibility.
- 2017: Version 1.00 restored compatibility with newer Bundler releases.
- 2021: Version 1.0.1 fixed platform-gem discovery from Gemfile.lock.
