When I started learning 2013 and working on Ruby 2018, I used RVM on my workstation. On commercial projects, rbenv was very popular when setting up deployment (with Capistrano); to some extent, it was the unspoken standard on the server.
I'm completely satisfied with RVM, but I'd like to have a more modern tool for working with Ruby versions. I think it will be an RV (https://github.com/spinel-coop/rv) in the near future. I recommend you install it and try it out.

#Ruby #RV #RVM #Rbenv #VersionManager

After a loong eight months, I've managed to get motivated to dig into my archives and publish another one of my basic #HOWTO articles.

This time, it's with rbenv & Ruby.

Managing Ruby installations using rbenv and ruby-build

Managing Ruby installations using rbenv and ruby-build on Debian-based systems

Time ago I resolved a #neovim lsp bug about mason plugin and #rbenv the #ruby environment handler. This is the issue explaining What was the problem and the workaround.
!Funny. Today I figured out that #rubyLsp and #Mason from #neovim are not friends when I'm using #rbenv Basically Mason try to install ruby-lsp and rubocop from the ruby version of my system but this crash with any version that I installed with rbenv.
The workaround is uninstall ruby-lsp from mason and install all using gem.
#rvm is an expert to hidde itself. Days ago I uninstall rvm in favour of #rbenv For some reason. Today I checked the $PATH env variable on my #ArchLinux and I noticed that .rvm/bin was there So I started to looking it for all home. whith the command `grep -RIn ".rvm/bin" ~` I founded it 3 places haha

Error: rbenv install 3.3.4 - ruby-build: definition not found: 3.3.4

Situation When trying installing Ruby 3.3.4 through rbenv on PopOs or any Ubuntu-based...

I need to investigate which is the best and simpler (with no o little external packages) to use #emacs with things like #pyenv , #rbenv or #nvm. All of those configure the environment in a way that emacs is not expecting

What is the best way nowadays to make #emacs use a Ruby installation from #rbenv ?

I have some configuration in my shell files but #emacs is not using it and it cannot launch `ruby-lsp` from it

Should rubyists with Void use xbps or rbenv to install Ruby? Seems xbps actually offers a higher version atm (3.3.5>3.3.4). #Ruby #VoidLinux #rbenv.

@jamiemccarthy @mistersql I don't have raw numbers because #chruby and #rbenv are not gems; they're shell hooks. However, @postmodern actively maintains chruby, and it doesn't need to be updated and rehashed for every upstream update or beta. It also has great support for the Fish shell.

All of them have good use cases & some edge cases. For example, #RVM is "batteries included." I didn't care about how it hooks `cd` until I started using other apps that did, too.

There's no wrong choice!
