but, just simply leaving the version number blank, "bundle update" will get the latest. correct?

  Yes, that's correct. Personally I always assign the working version numbers to the Gemfile. What happens in say a years time when you're meant to come back and maintain the site? New versions could mean a drastically broken system and you won't be maintaining a contracts codebase if you are not getting paid to do so.

    The .lock file will have the versions that are currently bundled, so you can always check what versions are bundled there. But I guess that requires a bit of messing around, where as what you do seems quite straight forward.

      Yes but if the repository is cloned with a lock file, when you bundle install, the lock file is then updated with your new gem versions if you have not specified a specific gem version number.

        not to labor the point. But the lock file is in the repo, it doesn't matter if it's updated, there is a version in the repo.
