I'm wondering how one can use Bundler with Sinatra. The idea is to use the gems that Bundler downloads inside the .gems folder.

Inside your Sinatra app, you just have to require the bundler setup:

require "bundler/setup"
require "sinatra"

get "/" do
  "Hello world!"
end

Alternatively, if you don't want to add the additional require "bundler/setup" at the top of your app, you can instead invoke sinatra via bundle exec (e.g. bundle exec ruby myapp.rb)

This assumes that you have a Gemfile in the root of your application. It might look like this:

source "http://rubygems.org"

gem "sinatra"

This also assumes that you've already installed bundler (gem install bundler) and that you ran bundle install to install all the gem dependencies.
