I found my gem location using gem env, and it’s outside the root of my project. I’m assuming I can change this location to a directory within my project, but is there a best practice for Gem locations? I’m asking because there are some patched Gems on Github I’d like to try, but I don’t want to overwrite the originals in my original gem file, in case it messes with other projects.
Sounds like you want to use bundler, which makes it really easy to juggle different versions of gems (including gems installed from git) without different projects interfering with each other.
You could also use different gemsets, but I’ve never found that necessary with bundler
