Renv

Renv is a simple and dumb environment manager for RubyGems.

Install Renv:

sudo gem install fnando-renv --source=http://gems.github.com

Or

git clone git://github.com/fnando/renv.git
cd renv
rake gem:install

Then put this on your ~/.bash_profile:

export RENVDIR="$HOME/.renv"
export PATH="$RENVDIR/active/bin:$PATH"
export GEM_PATH="$RENVDIR/active/lib"

Reload your profile with source ~/.bash_profile.

Here's the supported commands

renv use base
#=> create and switch to "base" environment

renv install json -v 1.1.3
#=> install json 1.1.3

renv install "twitter4r xmpp4r"
#=> install multiple gems

renv install fnando-recurrence -s http://gems.github.com
#=> install a gem from github

renv install fnando-recurrence -s github
#=> install a gem from github using the shortcut

renv uninstall json
#=> uninstall json

renv uninstall "twitter4r xmpp4r"
#=> uninstall multiple gems

renv update json
#=> update an installed gem

renv update fnando-recurrence -s http://gems.github.com
renv update fnando-recurrence -s github
#=> update an installed gem using source

renv env
#=> display current environment

renv clone base mycopy
#=> duplicate an environment as mycopy

renv delete mycopy
#=> remove the environment

renv list
#=> list all environments

renv gems
#=> list all installed gems in the current environment

To get all available commands, run renv help.

To add environment name completion support, add this to your ~/.bash_profile:

# complete renv envs
_renvcomplete() {
  COMPREPLY=($(compgen -W "`NAME=${COMP_WORDS[COMP_CWORD]} renv complete`"))
  return 0
}

complete -o default -o nospace -F _renvcomplete renv

Renv outputs colored strings; to disable it add the following to your ~/.bash_profile:

export RENV_NOCOLOR=1

Note: This gem was built before Rip 0.0.2 that handles compiled gems.
