Can it be Easier?

Bundle faster than a speeding SSD!(or 5400rpm HDD…)

Setup the Cache$ git clone git://github.com/akitaonrails/rubygems_proxy.git rubygems

$ cd rubygems; powder link

~/.bash_profile$ export LOCALGEMS='http://rubygems.dev'

Gemfile$ source ENV['LOCALGEMS'] || 'https://rubygems.org'

POW rubygems cache

Simply,$ gem install bundler rubygems-bundler$ gem regenerate_binstubs

It modifies gem wrappers shebang to load ruby_noexec_wrapper. Then, when you run gem binaries, it takes a look at your working directory, and every directory above it until it can find a Gemfile. If the executable is present in your Gemfile, it switches to using that Gemfile instead (via Bundle.setup).

No more bundle exec
