bundle: Update one or more specific gems(s) defined in the `Gemfile` but only to the next patch version.
$ bundle update --patch ${gem_name} ${gem_name}
try on your machine

This command is used to update specific gems in a Ruby on Rails application.

Here's the breakdown of the command:

  • bundle update is a command to update gems in a Ruby project using Bundler. Bundler is a package manager for Ruby applications that manages gem dependencies.
  • --patch is an option for the bundle update command. It tells Bundler to only update to the latest patch version of the specified gem. Patch versions typically include bug fixes and backward-compatible changes.
  • ${gem_name} (repeated twice) is the placeholder for the name of the gem that you want to update. You need to replace ${gem_name} with the actual name of the gem you want to update. For example, if you want to update the rails gem, you would replace ${gem_name} with rails. So the command becomes: bundle update --patch rails rails

This command will update the specified gems to the latest available patch version.
