BUNDLE-VIZ(1)

💖 BUNDLE-VIZ 💖

okay bestie, so you know how I'm literally always right about Unix? yeah. this is bundle-viz from the General Commands Manual section, and it's about to give your Gemfile a whole ✨glow up✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

bundle-viz — bestie, this literally Generates a visual dependency graph for your Gemfile. like it makes your gems into a picture. iconic behavior fr fr 🌸

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

bundle viz [--file=FILE] [--format=FORMAT] [--requirements] [--version]
[--without=GROUP GROUP]

that's the whole vibe check right there. memorize it, iykyk 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so viz generates a PNG file of the current Gemfile(5) as a dependency graph. that's the main character move. no cap.

ngl though, viz requires the ruby-graphviz gem (and its dependencies). like it cannot function without it, it's giving "needs its emotional support gem" 😭

and the associated gems must also be installed via bundle install(1) bundle-install.1.html. both things. you need both. don't skip steps bestie 🫶

💀 okay real talk: the viz command was deprecated in Bundler 2.2. Use the bundler-graph plugin https://github.com/rubygems/bundler-graph instead. i know, i know, our fave got cancelled. but the plugin is right there and it's slaying.

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• --file=FILE, -f=FILE — The name to use for the generated file. See the --format option. like, what are we calling this masterpiece 🎨
• --format=FORMAT, -F=FORMAT — This is output format option. Supported format is png, jpg, svg, dot ... yeah that's the lineup, pick your fighter ⭐
• --requirements, -R — Set to show the version of each required dependency. receipts included, periodt 📋
• --version, -v — Set to show each gem version. every single gem gets its moment, we don't do anonymous here 👑
• --without=<list>, -W=<list> — Exclude gems that are part of the specified named group. some gems just don't get an invite to the party, and that's okay 🙈
