RVM see gems in gemset

How do I view a list of all the gems in a given gemset? And is it possible to use multiple gemsets at a time or only one?

Perhaps the simplest way is to query the filesystem. As an example, I had a gemset named yard using Ruby 3.0.3. All the gems installed in that gemset could be found with:

> ls ~/.rvm/gems/ruby-3.0.3@yard/gems
yard-0.9.26

(There was just that one gem.)

So the gemset directory name is:

~/.rvm/gems/#{ruby_version}@#{gemset_name}/gems

...where ruby_version is the version rvm uses (i.e. the string output by rvm list).

Usually the current Ruby's @global gemset is included in other gemsets.

To see the contents of a gemset, excluding the @global gemset, first do rvm use 2.0.0@some-gemset --ignore-gemsets (or similar) then gem list.

For the default gemset, do rvm use 2.0.0 --ignore-gemsets then gem list.

You can call gem list and it will display all the gems in your current gemset. You can only use one gemset at a time, but there is a hierarchy of gemsets. You can create a global gemset with (for example) rake and pry in it, and then any gemset you create (using the same version of ruby, of course) will inherit those gems into it.
