Sometimes it's useful to be able to load the gem and interact with the classes in order to test and debug the code. A great way to do this is the `bin/console` file found in most gems. When you load the console the default is to open [irb](https://github.com/ruby/irb) with your project loaded. However, our standard is to use [pry](https://github.com/pry/pry). In fact, switching is so common that the code to use `pry` is automatically added when you create the gem. It's just commented out. We bring in the gem [pry-byebug](https://github.com/deivid-rodriguez/pry-byebug.git), which in turn brings in the pry gem. So we have everything we need to switch to using our preferred REPL. Hence we make that change here.
