Gems and bundler gems

Rails
1

Im a newbie to ror. Started learning it from last month alongwith spree
commerce. Please sort out this to me
What is the differnce between gems installed at
.rvm/gems/ruby 2.2.1/gems
and those at
rvm/gems/ruby 2.2.1/bundler/gems

while using in a application? Is the bundler/gems some kind of a cache
file as its named like for example ‘spree_i18n-d7a8911f299b’

Thanks in advance.

Those are gems installed from a git repository (for example if you’ve
forked a gem or if a change you want hasn’t been released yet). The
d7a8911f299b is the commit that was checked out

So is it like the gems in .rvm/gems/ruby 2.2.1/gems are installed from
rubygems.org and other in bundler/gems are installed from github.

Is there any difference between them if we use in the application apart
from the fact that we should specify differently in gemfile.

They could come from any git repository, not just GitHub.

In usage there is no difference (other than the fact that it allows you
to use unreleased versions or forks of gems)
