Most Rubyists are familiar with rubygems.org. The `source` at top of every Gemfile is so Bundler can download and install gems from the rubygems server.
Interesting fact: `source` could be pointed at, well, anything. In fact, you can have multiple sources, and you can even write blocks to install groups of #Ruby gems from different sources including git repos. (TIL š)
Today, we have a NEW community-minded gem server: gem.coop! š
All the deets on how to use it and more:
