Aliases for rbenv Ruby versions
Invoke
rbenv aliasto make a symbolic link from to in the rbenv versions directory, effectively creating an alias. The cool part is that if you pass in a point release as the name, you can give
--autoto link to the latest installed patch level. For example,
rbenv alias 1.8.7 --autowill automatically create an alias from
1.8.7to
1.8.7-p371(or whatever the most recent version you have installed is).
Plus, if you're using ruby-build,
rbenv install A.B.C-pXXXautomatically invokes
rbenv alias A.B.C --auto, so you'll always have up to date aliases for point releases.
Whether it's a good idea to use these aliases in a
.ruby-versionfile, I cannot say. I created this plugin to find out. If your only concern is having to reinstall gems every time you install a new patch release, check out rbenv-communal-gems.
Installation
mkdir -p "$(rbenv root)/plugins" git clone git://github.com/tpope/rbenv-aliases.git \ "$(rbenv root)/plugins/rbenv-aliases" rbenv alias --auto
