Ruby Inside has a
blog post
on an add-on to irb that allows tab-completion and syntax coloring for irb. Way cool!
The install instructions are simple as:
- Install Ruby Gems (You DO have this installed, right?)
- sudo gem install -y wirble
- Then add the following to $HOME/.irbrc
require ‘rubygems’
require ‘wirble’
Wirble.init
Wirble.colorize
Then enjoy working with ruby in full (ascii) technicolor.
