Settings for IRB colors

To get some nice colors in your irb, you can install the gems awesome_print and interactive_editor. There should be a dot file (hidden file) in your home directory called .irbrc, if not just create it: sublime ~/.irbrc.

gem install awesome_print
gem install interactive_editor
sublime ~/.irbrc
