The challenge with working on multiple Ruby on Rails projects is coming across issues conflicting dependencies between projects. One issue I have been having has been with the version of bundler. One project I am working on depends on bundler v2 and another depends on bundler v1 running on the same Ruby version.

Upgrading bundler version for the project using bundler v1 is not an option right now and trying to do any bundle installs can get very annoying since it will be using the wrong version of bundler for the Gemlock.

After doing some web searching for a potential solution I found out about this funky annotation for telling bundle what version of the bundler gem you would like to use:

bundle _1.13_ install

It's a weird argument but it works. So next time you have a different major bundler versions across projects try using this.
