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 ven-
       dor/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 ven-
       dor/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.1.html) after
       running bundle package(1)  bundle-package.1.html,  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  ver-
       sion  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 appro-
       priate for the platform you are on, you can run bundle install  --local
       to  skip  checking  for more appropriate gems, and use the ones in ven-
       dor/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.1.html  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.
