Thief

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

  1. Runs bundle check which usually returns list of missing gems with versions quickly.
  2. Runs optimized gem install for each gem using as many parallel processes as you have CPUs.

Installation

Install using the command line:

$ gem install thief

Usage

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

$ thief; bundle check || bundle install

Execute somewhere where Gemfile is present

$ thief

Or provide path to gemfile as an optional argument

$ thief /path/to/some/Gemfile
