gemfiles and branches

September 28, 2010

I came across this little nugget in the gemfile manual today:

Git repositories support a number of additional options.
branch, tag, and ref You MUST only specify at most one of these options. The default is :branch => “master”

I can now specify the *rails3* branch of [acts\_as\_geocodable](http://github.com/collectiveidea.com/acts_as_geocodable) in my gemfile with:

gem 'acts_as_geocodable',
  :git => 'git://github.com/collectiveidea/acts_as_geocodable.git',
  :branch => 'rails3'

What? acts_as_geocodable is updated for Rails 3? Can’t wait to see a gem release soon! ;)
