# glab-dependency-firewall-gem(1)

Run gem through the GitLab Dependency Firewall. (BETA)

## NAME

glab-dependency-firewall-gem - Run gem through the GitLab Dependency Firewall. (BETA)

## SYNOPSIS

**glab dependency-firewall gem  \[flags\]**

## DESCRIPTION

Run the gem binary through the GitLab Dependency Firewall. The command checks each package download and upload against the policy for the current project, refuses blocked packages, and summarizes the results after the run.

The command uses your configured sources, and does not modify **~/.gemrc** or your sources.

All arguments are forwarded to **gem** verbatim.

This feature is in beta and might not be ready for production use. It might be unstable and breaking changes can occur outside of major releases. For more information, see https://docs.gitlab.com/policy/development\_stages\_support/.
