A Common .ruby-version File For Ruby Projects

Background

I've been using this technique in most of my Ruby projects lately where Ruby versions are required:

• Create .rbenv-version containing the target Ruby using a definition name defined in ruby-build (example below). These strings are a proper subset of RVM Ruby string names so far...
• Create .rvmrc (with rvm --create --rvmrc "1.9.3@myapp") and edit the environment_id= line to fetch the Ruby version from .rbenv-version (example below).

Today I learned about another Ruby manager, rbfu, where the author is using a similar technique with .rbfu-version.

Structure

• Have a breakable toy side Rails project. It anchors your learning. Apply new skills/techniques here.
• Put the code in Github. Give mentors access to the project. They'll review your code.
• Understand the code review process and other style guidelines.
• Deploy your breakable toy to Heroku.
• Set learning goals weekly (e.g. X chapters of the Pickaxe, X Railscasts/week).
• Keep a text document (using vim) to record interesting commands/concepts/things you've learned.
• Review the text document daily for comprehension.

# First, make sure that you have the most recent rvm. Several bugs with 2.0.0-preview1
# have recently been fixed.
#
# Second, the openssl that comes with MacOS is too old for Ruby 2.0. You need to install
# a newer one with homebrew or the rvm pkg command.

# Option 1, with homebrew openssl:

brew update
brew install openssl
