What is a GEMFILE file?

It specifies the gems required by the project, ensuring consistent and reproducible development environments across different machines. The file lists gem names, versions, and optionally, sources for retrieving these gems. *.GEMFILE files are crucial for managing external libraries and frameworks within Ruby applications, promoting modularity and code reuse.
