Hirb provides a mini view framework for console applications and uses it to improve ripl(irb)'s default inspect output. Given an object or array of objects, hirb renders a view based on the object's class and/or ancestry. Hirb offers reusable views in the form of helper classes. The two main helpers, Hirb::Helpers::Table and Hirb::Helpers::Tree, provide several options for generating ascii tables and trees. Using Hirb::Helpers::AutoTable, hirb has useful default views for at least ten popular database gems i.e. Rails' ActiveRecord::Base. Other than views, hirb offers a smart pager and a console menu. The smart pager only pages when the output exceeds the current screen size. The menu is used in conjunction with tables to offer two dimensional menus.

Bond is on a mission to improve autocompletion in ruby, especially for irb/ripl. Aside from doing everything irb's can do and fixing its quirks, Bond can autocomplete argument(s) to methods, uniquely completing per module, per method and per argument. Bond brings ruby autocompletion closer to bash/zsh as it provides a configuration system and a DSL for creating custom completions and completion rules. With this configuration system, users can customize their autocompletions and share it with others. Bond can also load completions that ship with gems. Bond is able to offer more than irb's completion since it uses the full line of input when completing as opposed to irb's last-word approach.

ripl is a light shell that encourages common middleware for shells i.e. rack for ruby shells. It is also a modular alternative to irb. Like irb, it loads ~/.irbrc, has autocompletion and keeps history in ~/.irb_history. Unlike irb, it is highly customizable via plugins and supports commands i.e. ripl-play. This customizability makes it easy to build custom shells (i.e. for a gem or application) and complex shells (i.e. for the web). Works on ruby 1.8.7 and greater.

Tux dresses up sinatra in a shell. Use it to interact with your helpers, view rendering and your app's response objects. Tux also gives you commands to view your app's routes and settings.

This ripl plugin allows you to evaluate multiple lines of Ruby code.

Creates aliases for class methods, instance methods, constants, delegated methods and more. Aliases can be easily searched or saved as YAML config files to load later. Custom alias types are easy to create with the DSL Alias provides. Although Alias was created with the irb user in mind, any Ruby console program can hook into Alias for creating configurable aliases.

Boson is a modular command/task framework. Thanks to its rich set of plugins, it differentiates itself from rake and thor by being usable from irb and the commandline, having optional automated views generated by hirb and allowing libraries to be written as plain ruby. Works with ruby >= 1.9.2

This bond plugin generates completions for gems that have been documented with yard.

bosonson is a command/task framework with the power to turn any ruby method into a full-fledged executable with options. Some unique features that differentiate it from rake and thor include being usable from irb and the commandline, optional automated views generated by hirb and allowing libraries to be written as plain ruby. For my libraries that use this, see irbfiles. Works with all major ruby versions. Forked from boson

Updates records from the console via your preferred editor. You can update a record's columns as well as <i>any attribute</i> that has accessor methods. Records are edited via a temporary file and once saved, the records are updated. Records go through a filter before and after editing the file. Yaml is the default filter, but you can define your own filter simply with a module and 2 expected methods. See ConsoleUpdate::Filter for more details. Compatible with all major Ruby versions and Rails 2.3.x and up.

This plugin implements Flickr's machine tags as explained here[http://www.flickr.com/groups/api/discuss/72157594497877875] while still maintaining standard tagging behavior. Basically, a machine tag has a namespace, a predicate and a value in the format [namespace]:[predicate]=[value] This allows for more precise tagging as tags can have unlimited contexts provided by combinations of namespaces and predicates. These unlimited contexts also make machine tags ripe for modeling relationships between objects. Read the HasMachineTags::TagMethods class documentation for a more thorough explanation. A demo app using this plugin is here. This gem should run on all major Ruby versions and work with Rails 2.3.x and up.

Lightning is a commandline framework that lets users wrap commands with shell functions that are able to refer to any filesystem path by its basename. To achieve this, a group of paths to be translated are defined with shell globs. These shell globs, known as a lightning _bolt_, are then applied to commands to produce functions. In addition to translating basenames to full paths, lightning _functions_ can autocomplete these basenames, resolve conflicts if they have the same name, leave any non-basename arguments untouched, and autocomplete directories above and below a basename. To make bolts shareable between users and functions easier to create, lightning has _generators_. A _generator_ generates filesystem-specific globs for a bolt. Lightning comes with some default generators. Users can make their own generators with generator plugins placed under ~/.lightning/generators/.

A simple *nix command which takes arguments or stdin and provides a menu to print chosen lines.
