Examples

1. You can add the rails gem to the Gemfile without any version restriction. The source of the gem will be the global source.

   bundle add rails

2. You can add the rails gem with version greater than 1.1 (not including 1.1) and less than 3.0.

   bundle add rails --version "> 1.1, < 3.0"

3. You can use the https://gems.example.com custom source and assign the gem to a group.

   bundle add rails --version "~> 5.0.0" --source "https://gems.example.com" --group "development"

4. The following adds the gem entry to the Gemfile without installing the gem. You can install gems later via bundle install.

   bundle add rails --skip-install

5. You can assign the gem to more than one group.

   bundle add rails --group "development, test"
