            "content": "pristine  restores the installed gems in the bundle to their pristine condition using the lo‐\ncal gem cache from RubyGems. For git gems, a forced checkout will be performed.\n\nFor further explanation, bundle pristine ignores unpacked files on disk. In other words, this\ncommand  utilizes  the local .gem cache or the gem´s git repository as if one were installing\nfrom scratch.\n\nNote: the Bundler gem cannot be restored to its original state with pristine. One also cannot\nuse bundle pristine on gems with a ´path´ option in the Gemfile, because bundler has no orig‐\ninal copy it can restore from.\n\nWhen is it practical to use bundle pristine?\n\nIt comes in handy when a developer is debugging a gem. bundle pristine is a great way to  get\nrid of experimental changes to a gem that one may not want.\n\nWhy use bundle pristine over gem pristine --all?\n\nBoth  commands  are very similar. For context: bundle pristine, without arguments, cleans all\ngems from the lockfile. Meanwhile, gem pristine --all cleans all installed gems for that Ruby\nversion.\n\nIf  a  developer  forgets  which  gems  in  their project they might have been debugging, the\nRubygems gem pristine [GEMNAME] command may be inconvenient. One can avoid  waiting  for  gem\npristine --all, and instead run bundle pristine.\n\n\n\nDecember 2021                         BUNDLE-PRISTINE(1)",
