Bundle in parallel using full CPU powa!!! #rails

Don't you wish there was a faster way to install your bundled gems for a project? Especially when cloning an existing Rails application from Github?

It turns out that since Bundler v1.5, Bundler supports Parallel Install.

To run bundler with parallel install use the --jobs option or -j for short.

Assuming your computer has 4 cores you can try

$ bundle install --jobs 4
$ # or
$ bundle install -j4

Finally if you want to set bundler to always use parallel install you can run this command:

bundle config --global jobs 4

The bundler team has seen speedups of 40-60%. That's amazing!
