How to cgi escape ruby credentials

Question

I am running the command bundle install and keep getting the following error

Please CGI escape your usernames and passwords before setting them for authentication.

I am unsure how I could go about CGI escaping my credentials- any ideas? Thanks

Do you have any other `source` beside Rubygems configured in your `Gemfile`? — spickermann, Feb 26 '20 at 16:20

You can do this in irb with Ruby's CGI::Util module:

$ irb
irb(main):001:0> require "cgi"
=> true
irb(main):002:0> CGI.escape "foo@example.com"
=> "foo%40example.com"
