Update just one gem with bundler

Question

I use bundler to manage dependencies in my rails app  and I have a gem hosted in a git repository included as followed   gem  gem-name    git   gt   path to my gem git    To update this gem  I execute bundle update but it also updates all the gem mentioned in Gemfile  So what is the command to update just one specific gem

Here you can find a good explanation on the difference between

Update both gem and dependencies:

bundle update gem-name

or

Update exclusively the gem:

bundle update --source gem-name

along with some nice examples of possible side-effects.

Update

As @Tim's answer says, as of Bundler 1.14 the officially-supported way to this is with bundle update --conservative gem-name.

If you want to update a single gem to a specific version   change the version of the gem in the Gemfile bundle update   gt  ruby -v ruby 2 6 5p114  2019-10-01 revision 67812   x86 64-darwin19   gt  gem -v 3 0 3  gt  bundle -v Bundler version 2 1 4

The way to do this is to run the following command   bundle update --source gem-name

I ve used bundle update --source myself for a long time but there are scenarios where it doesn t work  Luckily  there s a gem called bundler-patch which has the goal of fixing this shortcoming   I also wrote a short blog post about how to use bundler-patch and why bundle update --source doesn t work consistently  Also  be sure to check out a post by chrismo that explains in great detail what the --source option does

bundle update gem-name  --major --patch --minor   This also works for dependencies

bundler update --source gem-name will update the revision hash in Gemfile lock which you can compare with the last commit hash of that git branch  master by default     GIT   remote  git github com organization repo-name git   revision  c810f4a29547b60ca8106b7a6b9a9532c392c954   can be found at github com organization repo-name commits c810f4a2  I used shorthand 8 character commit hash for the url
