About:
rbenv-gemset provides isolated gem environments for Ruby versions managed by rbenv. It allows developers to maintain separate sets of gems for different projects, preventing version conflicts and ensuring a clean, reproducible workflow without the overhead of full virtualization.
Key Features:
  • Seamless integration with rbenv for managing gemsets per project
  • Automatic switching of gemsets when navigating directories
  • Simple commands for creating, deleting, and listing gemsets
  • Lightweight implementation with minimal performance overhead
Use Cases:
  • Managing project-specific gem dependencies to avoid global pollution
  • Working on multiple Ruby projects with conflicting gem requirements
Alternatives:
  • rbenv-gem-rehash – Focuses on automatic shims for gems rather than environment isolation
  • RVM – Full Ruby version manager with built-in gemsets but heavier and more complex
