bundle install

Package up all your .gem files in vendor/cache
$ bundle package
Running bundle install in an application with packaged gems will use the gems in the package and skip connecting to rubygems.org
$ bundle install
You can use this to avoid a dependency on rubygems.org at deploy time, or if you have private gems that are not in a public repository
