I like to use a variable for the directory as such:

export RUBYBIN=/cygdrive/c/Ruby24-x64/bin
alias ruby=$RUBYBIN/ruby
alias ruby.exe=$RUBYBIN/ruby.exe
alias gem='$RUBYBIN/gem.bat'
alias irb='$RUBYBIN/irb.bat'
alias compass='$RUBYBIN/compass.bat'
alias sass='$RUBYBIN/sass.bat'
alias scss='$RUBYBIN/scss.bat'

For Ruby25 I had to use gem.cmd instead of gem.bat:

# ruby aliases
export RUBYBIN=/cygdrive/d/programs/Ruby25-x64/bin
alias ruby="$RUBYBIN"/ruby
alias gem="$RUBYBIN"/gem.cmd
alias bundle="$RUBYBIN"/bundle.bat

There are the alias for jekyll too:

# ruby aliases
export RUBYBIN=/cygdrive/c/Ruby25-x64/bin
alias ruby="$RUBYBIN"/ruby
alias ruby.exe=$RUBYBIN/ruby.exe
alias gem="$RUBYBIN"/gem.cmd
alias bundle="$RUBYBIN"/bundle.bat
alias bundler="$RUBYBIN/bundler.bat"
alias jekyll="$RUBYBIN/jekyll.bat"

Hi, in cygwin when i use "$ Ceedling" command, i am facing the same issue as written below:
"C:\Ruby23\bin\ruby.exe: No such file or directory -- /cygdrive/c/Ruby23/bin/ceedling (LoadError)"

I tried with changing the .bashrc file but still error is not going. I have replaced the "rubyx.y." in the given code with "ruby23", as it is the version installed in my pc. Any new solution i can try?
Ruby installed version : 2.3.1p112
Ceedling version : 0.28.3

Thank you.

To load all files in the C:/Ruby32-x64/bin in Cygwin at once, I loop through all of them like this:

export RUBY_BIN="/cygdrive/c/Ruby32-x64/bin"
for file in $RUBY_BIN/*.bat; do
  base=$(basename -- "$file")
  cmd="${base%.*}"
  alias $cmd="$file"
done

Anf finally, I put this inside ~/.bash_profile as bash doesn't automatically load ~/.bashrc
