Thief

Thief is a hack and slash alternative for installing Gemfile contents as fast as possible. It operates in following way:

1. Parses the Gemfile, ignoring Gemfile.lock, of course.
2. Runs gem install for each gem using as many parallel processes as you have CPUs.

It leaves a mess, but does the majority of work that Bundler is notoriously slow at. Run Bundler afterwards to have a clean finish.

Installation

Install using the command line:

$ gem install thief

Usage

Recommended usage for CI builds or production installs is in combination with Bundler:

$ bundle check || thief; bundle install

Execute somewhere where Gemfile is present

$ thief

Or provide path to gemfile as an optional argument

$ thief /path/to/some/Gemfile
