RubyGems

In plain terms

The package manager and registry for Ruby.

Going deeper

RubyGems distributes Ruby libraries ('gems') and manages their installation and versions. It's the backbone of Ruby's package ecosystem.

Under the hood

Bundler complements it for project-level dependency locking via Gemfile.

Examples

gem install, Gemfile, Bundler, Rails dependencies, ruby libraries.

Think of it like...

Like a marketplace and installer for ready-made Ruby components.
