What is the difference between ruby gems and brew formulas?
RubyGems and Homebrew are both package managers. RubyGems was created for the express purpose of installing gems whereas Homebrew is a more general tool which can build, install and manage different software packages including gems.
Homebrew is tied to Mac OS X, whereas RubyGems works on multiple platforms.
Best advice? Do whatever the book/tutorial you’re following tells you to do and let your preferences develop over time until you have enough experience to know what you want. All this having been said, it seems as though you’re going to be working in Rails, so you’re going to be using bundler, rather than RubyGems or Homebrew.
