After running `brew install ruby`, Homebrew installed Ruby 3.0.1.

As per the [Jekyll installation docs](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/installation/macos/), that step is followed by the following command:

```auto
# If you're using Zsh
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/ruby/bin:/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/3.0.0/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc

# If you're using Bash
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/ruby/bin:/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/3.0.0/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile

```

However, I noticed the command points to the `3.0.0` path. If I run the command as shown above (in my case with zsh), there are no errors. Also, if I change the path to `3.0.1`, I still do not receive an error.

My question is do I change `3.0.0` to `3.0.1` because the Jekyll docs are out of date or is `3.0.0` just fine so long as I am running Ruby 3.x?

Thank you.

I believe the gem path is only updated when the major or minor version changes, but not when the patch version changes (a version number being: `major . minor . patch`). So you shouldn’t need to change the `/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/3.0.0/bin` path until you upgrade to 3.1.x.

Okay, cool, thanks! I’ll get it set up this week just to verify there aren’t any problems and let you know.

No issue here.

I upgraded Ruby 2.7 from say 2.7.2 to 2.7.3 and the path is still 2.7.0

So it will be the same for 3.0.0

I suppose the directory should just omit the last zero as it means nothing, but anyway
