Binstubs are scripts that wrap around executables\. Bundler creates a small Ruby file (a binstub) that loads Bundler, runs the command, and puts it into \fBbin/\fR\. Binstubs are a shortcut\-or alternative\- to always using \fBbundle exec\fR\. This gives you a file that can be run directly, and one that will always run the correct gem version used by the application\.
For example, if you run \fBbundle binstubs rspec\-core\fR, Bundler will create the file \fBbin/rspec\fR\. That file will contain enough code to load Bundler, tell it to load the bundled gems, and then run rspec\.
.
.P
This command generates binstubs for executables in \fBGEM_NAME\fR\. Binstubs are put into \fBbin\fR, or the \fB\-\-path\fR directory if one has been set\. Calling binstubs with [GEM [GEM]] will create binstubs for all given gems\.
.
.SH"OPTIONS"
.
.TP
\fB\-\-force\fR
Overwrite existing binstubs if they exist\.
.
.TP
\fB\-\-path\fR
The location to install the specified binstubs to\. This defaults to \fBbin\fR\.
.
.TP
\fB\-\-standalone\fR
Makes binstubs that can work without depending on Rubygems or Bundler at runtime\.
.
.TP
\fB\-\-shebang\fR
Specify a different shebang executable name than the default (default \'ruby\')
.
.SH"BUNDLE INSTALL \-\-BINSTUBS"
