Use Pry as IRB replacement in rails 3 console

development.rb

# Add this to the end of your development.rb and add 
#
# gem 'pry'
#
# to your Gemfile and run bundle to install.

silence_warnings do
  begin
    require 'pry'
    IRB = Pry
  rescue LoadError
  end
end

@l0b0 see where reload! is defined and include this too or see what else gets included to irb

@13k thanks works great
