Introduction

When I was making a gem called qiita \ _org in my graduation research, I got an issue saying that'gems directory is included', so I tried to delete it. Make a note of any problems you may have at this time.

About the trouble.

The beginning of this case.

The following issue came from mensfeld.

While reviewing the changes for this lib, I noticed, that the vendor/gems directory is being included.

Is this needed? Usually, it's added by mistake and causes:
a) confusion
b) problems when tracking changes
c) makes gem much bigger than it could be

ref: https://github.com/yamatoken/qiita_org/tree/master/gems/ruby/2.7.0

If the presence of vendor data is valid I would love the reasoning. Thanks!

I was a beginner in ruby and gem development, and I had never thought about this, and I learned a lot, so I tried to delete the gems directory that had been created before I knew it.

What I did.

After erasing it, I tried the post command of qiita \ _org just in case, and it became as follows.

Bundler could not find compatible versions for gem "command_line":
  In Gemfile:
    qiita_org was resolved to 0.1.35, which depends on
      command_line (> 2.0.0)

Could not find gem 'command_line (> 2.0.0)', which is required by gem 'qiita_org', in any of the sources.

For the time being, when I did'bundle update', the gems directory that should have been deleted was restored.

About the cause

Even if you erase it with rm, it will be restored, and even if you do not upload gems to Github with .gitignore, it will rise without permission.

The cause was in .bundle/config.

`.bundle/config`


BUNDLE_PATH: "gems"

Because there was such a thing, the gems directory was generated.

Erase this and solve.
