Customizing IRB, 2010 edition. IRB customization with wirble, hirb, awesome_print and a few others choice libraries. What makes Iain’s .irbrc so awesome is the way it handles loading of dependencies (which may or may not be available).
A few git tips you didn’t know about. Guaranteed to make you a Git Ninja, or at the very least, much more productive with the command line.
Terminal Tips and Tricks For Mac OS X. Just what it says on the label.
Upstart — event-based init daemon. The new alternative to sysvinit. Not so new chronologically, but probably new to you. If you’ve using God or Nagios, consider upstarting some of that.
Awesome Screenshot: Capture & Annotate. This extension (Chrome only) makes screen capture and sharing so easy.
Incidentally, screenshot of the New revised release calendar.
The .irbrc is extremely reminiscent of one I’ve used myself for ages now. Probably ought to have published it!
#!env ruby
module IRB
def self.init(*requires)
begin
requires.each {|r| require r }
yield if block_given?
rescue LoadError => e
warn e.message
end
end
def self.gem(gem, *requires, &block)
requires < e
warn e.message.chomp
end
end
end
IRB.conf[:PROMPT_MODE] = :SIMPLE
IRB.init ‘rubygems’
IRB.gem ‘looksee’, ‘looksee/shortcuts’
IRB.gem ‘awesome_print’, ‘ap’
IRB.gem ‘wirble’ do
Wirble.init
Wirble.colorize
end
IRB.gem ‘hirb’ do
Hirb::View.enable
end
Apologies for the indentation — it was there when I clicked publish. Prettify it in TextMate.
Thanks, just added looksee to my irbrc.
