I have been using the less-rails-bootstrap gem from https://github.com/metaskills/less-rails-bootstrap in my rails 3.1 project.

I want to upgrade to the 2.0wip version of bootstrap and I found a fork with the same name under https://github.com/sgruhier/less-rails-bootstrap

Both version say to install you add gem 'less-rails-bootstrap' to your gemfile.

Well, how is bundler going to know which one to use? What if 20 people had gems with the exact same name?

I guess the bigger question is how to I specify which gem to use?

    Bundler will use the one found on http://rubygems.org, which is the one at the first link you posted.

    When trying to use an unreleased branch/fork, you should pass the :git option in your Gemfile to tell Bundler to use that git repository:

    gem 'less-rails-bootstrap', :git => "git://github.com/sgruhier/less-rails-bootstrap.git"
