Keeping your dependencies with your application can save time and effort when switching between multiple projects, especially amongst a team of developers. Balazs Nagy, a part-time Rails developer, explains how to solve this issue by vendoring his Ruby gems. He demonstrates his best practices for vendoring  his gems "with style":



1.    We use rvm
2.    However, we got rid of it’s bundler helpers
3.    We don’t rely on the bundler pool using executables / scripts
4.    … but we have a pool, and we don’t have multiple copies the same gems (ssd is still not cheap)
5.    Most shortcomings of vendoring gems are hidden


Nagy only found one issue with the guard-bundler, which was fixed with a recent update. The full blog post includes an in-depth walk-through and code examples explaining his gem vendoring method.
