Warning: No longer maintained at this fork - I have found that Pry works very well for me instead.
Requirements

It is recommended that you add these gems to your ~/.rvm/gemsets/global.gems to ensure
that they are always available.

:command_aliases:

:console_defaults:

Run irb and enjoy!
These settings will also affect your script/console sessions in Rails
What you get
- A colorful prompt including the line number, Ruby version, gemset, and current working directory
- Colored output / highlighting
- IRB history that is preserved between sessions
- Detailed HTTP output when calling remote services
... and a few lightweight tools to make IRB a bit friendlier:
| Module | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| BashLike | Make IRB feel more bash-like | clear, cd, ls, pwd, ... |
| EvalLines | Run a few specific lines from a file | |
| FastReload | Reload the most recent file from fast_load and then repeat the last command | |
| PrintMethods | Print object methods for a given object or class |
For more information, type load up IRB and type commands, and explore the source!
Contributions welcome.
Enjoy!
