14. Gemfile Changes
- We're going to edit a special file called Gemfile.
- Terminology: gems are packages of files from other developers we can use to save us time as we develop. In the world of Rails, gems and plugins are different things, but in some other languages and frameworks, the word 'plugin' is used to describe the same concept.
- The '~>' and '>=' characters affect which version of a gem gets downloaded to our virtual computer and used in our app.
###Terminal
(To make sure you are in your Rails application folder, type...) cd cd workspace/saasapp git checkout -b pages_and_layout
In the video, we make multiple edits to our Gemfile, which is a file that resides directly inside the Rails application folder. This is what your final file should look like:
###Gemfile
source 'https://rubygems.org' # Bundle edge Rails instead: gem 'rails', github: 'rails/rails' gem 'rails', '5.0.0' # Use Puma as the app server gem 'puma', '3.4.0' # Use SCSS for stylesheets gem 'sass-rails', '5.0.6' # Use Uglifier as compressor for JavaScript assets gem 'uglifier', '3.0.0' # Use CoffeeScript for .coffee assets and views gem 'coffee-rails', '4.2.1' # See https://github.com/rails/execjs#readme for more supported runtimes # gem 'therubyracer', platforms: :ruby # Use jquery as the JavaScript library gem 'jquery-rails', '4.1.1' # Turbolinks makes navigating your web application faster.

Once your file contains the exact same code from above, run these commands in your Terminal:
###Terminal
git status git add . git commit -m "Updated Gemfile for consistency" git push origin pages_and_layout
