Description

Avoid repeating yourself, use pry-rails instead of copying the initializer to every rails project. This is a small gem which causes rails console to open pry. It therefore depends on pry.

Prerequisites

• A Rails >= 3.0 Application

Installation

Add this line to your gemfile:

gem 'pry-rails', :group => :development

bundle install and enjoy pry.

Usage

$ rails console
