Homemade IRB Console, like Rails!

console

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

# console, generally inspired by rails console
#
# put in root of project, adjust file paths and the like

# chmod the file to be executable by you
# run:
#  project_root >> ./console

# first require
Dir[File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/*.rb'].each {|file| require file }

# mmm... irb
require 'irb'
require 'irb/completion'

# notice the load instead of require
def reload!
    puts "Reloadin'"
    Dir[File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/*.rb'].each {|file| load file }
    true
end

# fire it up, hoss!
IRB.start
