    We can create a new gemset to install a specific set of gems in it. In this i am copying an existing gemset into a newly created gemset.

    1> To list the available gemsets we can type :

    rvm gemset list
    
    gemsets for ruby-2.2.3 (found in /home/taran/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.3)
    => (default)
       global
    

    2> We will create a new gemset named sample_gemset

    rvm gemset create sample_gemset
    
    ruby-2.2.3 - #gemset created /home/taran/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.3@sample_gemset
    ruby-2.2.3 - #generating sample_gemset wrappers........
    

    3> Now we can copy any gemset into this newly created gemset. Suppose i want to copy global gemset into this newly created sample_gemset

    rvm gemset copy 2.2.3@global 2.2.3@sample_gemset
    
    Copying gemset from 2.2.3@global to 2.2.3@sample_gemset
    Generating gemset wrappers ruby-2.2.3@sample_gemset...............................-
    Making gemset 2.2.3@sample_gemset pristine........................................
    

    4> We can verify that sample_gemset has all the gems of global gemset. For this i am checking the version of rails. It will now have the same version of rails which was present in global gemset.

    rvm use 2.2.3@sample_gemset
    Using /home/taran/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.3 with gemset sample_gemset
    
    rails -v
    Rails 4.2.0
    

    4> If we want to delete this sample_gemset we can use

    rvm gemset delete sample_gemset
    
    Are you SURE you wish to remove the entire gemset directory 'sample_gemset' (/home/taran/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.3@sample_gemset)?
    (anything other than 'yes' will cancel) > yes
    
    Removing gemset sample_gemset......
