Gemfiles for the 6th edition of the Ruby on Rails Tutorial
A companion repo to the Rails Tutorial 6th edition that pins working Gemfile versions so readers don't hit dependency hell mid-tutorial. Exists solely because gem version conflicts are a common failure mode for beginners following a book. Not a project — just a set of static files.
Solves a real, specific pain point: the tutorial's printed Gemfiles go stale as gems release new versions. Organized by chapter app so you can grab exactly what you need without reading the whole thing. Raw-file instructions are a nice touch for absolute beginners who don't know GitHub.
Last updated March 2022 — Rails is now on 8.x, so these Gemfiles target an old Rails 6 stack that most new learners shouldn't be starting with. No Gemfile.lock files checked in, which means 'latest Gemfiles' still doesn't give you fully reproducible builds. This is a support artifact for a paid tutorial, not a standalone learning resource — zero value if you're not actively doing that course.
