nothing is shown like copy_carrierwave is uninstalled successfuly from....

then if i type :

Answer 1

Since git, github, and path located, or development gems are controlled by bunlder, you have just to remove put to delete gem from Gemfile. And you even don't need to run bundle install again.

$ bundle show session

Could not find gem 'session'.

Answer 2

Bundle Clean. Since the gems were installed using bundler, they have to be uninstalled using bundler too!

First, remove the line gem 'copy_carrierwave_file', github: 'equivalent/copy_carrierwave_file' from your Gemfile

Then, bundle clean with dry-run (just in case you see gems you don't want to remove):

bundle clean --force --dry-run

If you want to remove those gems, clean it:

bundle clean --force
