NAME

       bundle-package - Package your needed .gem files into your application

SYNOPSIS

       bundle package

DESCRIPTION

       Copy  all of the .gem files needed to run the application into the vendor/cache directory.
       In the future, when running [bundle install(1)][bundle-install], use the gems in the cache
       in preference to the ones on rubygems.org.

GIT AND PATH GEMS

       Since Bundler 1.2, the bundle package command can also package :git and :path dependencies
       besides .gem files. This needs to be explicitly enabled via the --all option.  Once  used,
       the --all option will be remembered.

SUPPORT FOR MULTIPLE PLATFORMS

       When  using  gems  that  have  different packages for different platforms, Bundler 1.8 and
       newer support caching of gems for other platforms where  the  Gemfile  has  been  resolved
       (i.e.  present  in  the  lockfile)  in  vendor/cache.  This  needs  to  be enabled via the
       --all-platforms  option.  This  setting  will  be  remembered  in   your   local   bundler
       configuration.

REMOTE FETCHING

       By   default,  if  you  run  [bundle  install(1)][bundle-install]  after  running  [bundle
       package(1)][bundle-package], bundler will still connect to rubygems.org to check whether a
       platform-specific gem exists for any of the gems in vendor/cache.

       For instance, consider this Gemfile(5):

           source "https://rubygems.org"

           gem "nokogiri"

       If  you run bundle package under C Ruby, bundler will retrieve the version of nokogiri for
       the "ruby" platform. If you deploy to JRuby and run bundle install, bundler is  forced  to
       check to see whether a "java" platformed nokogiri exists.

       Even  though the nokogiri gem for the Ruby platform is technically acceptable on JRuby, it
       has a C extension that does not run on JRuby. As a result, bundler will, by default, still
       connect  to  rubygems.org  to  check  whether  it  has  a version of one of your gems more
       specific to your platform.

       This problem is also not limited to the "java" platform. A similar  (common)  problem  can
       happen  when  developing on Windows and deploying to Linux, or even when developing on OSX
       and deploying to Linux.

       If you know for sure that the gems  packaged  in  vendor/cache  are  appropriate  for  the
       platform  you  are  on,  you  can  run  bundle  install  --local to skip checking for more
       appropriate gems, and use the ones in vendor/cache.

       One way to be sure that you have the right platformed versions of all your gems is to  run
       bundle  package  on  an identical machine and check in the gems. For instance, you can run
       bundle package on an identical staging box during your staging process, and check  in  the
       vendor/cache before deploying to production.

       By  default, [bundle package(1)][bundle-package] fetches and also installs the gems to the
       default location. To package the dependencies to vendor/cache without installing  them  to
       the local install location, you can run bundle package --no-install.
