Gem::ConfigFile

The account name under which the default RubyGems.org API key is stored in the credential store, mirroring the :rubygems_api_key symbol used by the plain text credentials file.

For Ruby packagers to set configuration defaults. Set in rubygems/defaults/operating_system.rb

For Ruby implementers to set configuration defaults. Set in rubygems/defaults/#{RUBY_ENGINE}.rb

List of arguments supplied to the config file object.

True if we print backtraces on errors.

Bulk threshold value. If the number of missing gems are above this threshold value, then a bulk download technique is used. (deprecated)

Expiration length to sign a certificate

Number of gem downloads that should be performed concurrently.

Number of days a newly published gem version must wait before it is considered for installation or update (the cooldown period). 0 disables the cooldown, unless Bundler is configured with a longer one: this setting and Bundler’s own cooldown setting are both read, and the longer of the two applies, so a cooldown configured for only one of the two tools still covers both. --cooldown overrides both.

A value that cannot be read as a non-negative integer warns and takes no part in that resolution, so a typo in the gemrc file does not make every command fail.

Experimental ==

Store and read push/authentication credentials in a credential store instead of the plain text credentials file. true selects the operating system’s native store (macOS Keychain, Linux Secret Service, Windows Credential Manager) when one is available on this platform. A string selects a named backend registered by a third-party gem, such as +“1password”+. false (the default) keeps using the credentials file.

True if we want to force specification of gem server when pushing a gem

Use a global cache for .gem files shared across all Ruby installations. When enabled, gems fetched from a remote source are cached to ~/.cache/gem/gems (or XDG_CACHE_HOME/gem/gems). Gems installed from a local path are not, since a cached copy is later reused without being verified again. gem fetch still writes to the working directory, and an unwritable cache directory falls back to the cache of the installation.

Where to install gems (deprecated)

Install extensions into lib as well as into the extension directory.

Experimental ==

Fallback to IPv4 when IPv6 is not reachable or slow (default: false)

Where to look for gems (deprecated)

sources to look for gems

Path name of directory or file of openssl CA certificate, used for remote https connection

Path name of directory or file of openssl client certificate, used for remote https connection with client authentication

openssl verify mode value, used for remote https connection

True if we want to update the SourceInfoCache every time, false otherwise

Use Psych (C extension YAML parser) instead of the pure Ruby YAMLSerializer.

Verbose level of output:

• false – No output

• true – Normal output

• :loud – Extra output
