Do I still need source :gemcutter in Gemfile?

Question

I have a file "Gemfile" in my Rails project root.

It says source :gemcutter in the very first line.

Do I still need the line? If I'm correct, http://rubygems.org/ is the official source, and Gem Cutter was merged into rubygems.org.

Answer 1

You're correct. You don't need it any longer, and yes, it was merged.

Make sure you have an alternate source specified:

source 'https://rubygems.org'

Answer 2

You still need it. Instead of using :gemcutter, use :rubygems instead.
