The irbtools gem is a meta gem that installs handy and useful irb gems and provides an appealing ready-to-use irb configuration. It has a modular structure and supports multiple library-loading mechanisms, e.g. via autoload or threads.
irbtools-more adds some more irb gems which may not build out-of-the-box. Currently included: bond, looksee and drx. See the irbtools readme for details.
gem install irbtools-more
In a Gemfile, you need to add:
gem 'irbtools-more', :require => false
To use it, put the following in your ~/.irbrc file (this file is loaded every time you start an irb):
require 'rubygems' # only needed in 1.8 require 'irbtools/more'
If it does not exist, just create a new one. It’s possible to modify, which libraries get loaded:
require 'irbtools/configure' Irbtools.add_package :more # adds this extension package # here you can edit which libraries get loaded. See the irbtools README for details. Irbtools.start
