It is not showing up when you type gem list because it is not being installed like a regular gem. You can require it like you would any other library because Bundler knows about it and will set it up for you. You should see it in your $LOAD_PATH:

$LOAD_PATH.grep(/nameofgem/)

See the Bundler documentation on this for more information.

If instead you want to install it as a regular gem from the Git repository, you can clone the repository and then build and install the generated gem. For example:

gem build echo_server.gemspec
gem install echo_server-X.Y.Z.gem

There is also specific_install.
