Is there a way to get notifications for new gems with Bundler?

Question

I'm using Bundler for the gem dependency management.

Is there a way to get a notification when a new gem of a gem specified in Gemfile available?

Answer 1

While I don't think there's a way to directly monitor your Gemfile, RubyGems' website lets you subscribe to multiple gems if you create an account and log in. Then you could subscribe to the RSS feed (assuming you use an RSS reader) and know every time a new version comes out.

Answer 2

The command bundle outdated will tell you which gems can updated in your bundle. For more information on how to use the command take a look at the help command bundle --help outdated
