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

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

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

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