Can you put that gem anywhere? or should gems be put in specific places? I am mostly asking for future use. Like if I see a gem on Git that I want to use, if I were to install it that way (instead of in the terminal) what is the general rule of thumb for where to put the gem in the gem file? Thanks

From what I have read, the common approach is to alphabetize your gems relative to the group that gem is in.
