Can I stop Bundler from adding RUBY VERSION to Gemfile.lock

Question

Every time I run any gem command on the command line, Bundler insists on touching my Gemfile.lock file to add this line:

RUBY VERSION
   ruby 2.

If you are using some sort of version control like Git you can add the Gemfile.lock to your .gitignore file.

This way anytime you push up a new change you will not push up your Gemfile.lock. Especially since other developers do not need it - once they run bundle, bundle will create a new Gemfile.lock on completion.
