This is a plugin for rbenv that lets you set global and project-specific environment variables before spawning Ruby processes.
To install rbenv-vars, clone this repository into your
~/.rbenv/plugins directory. (You'll need a recent version of rbenv
that supports plugin bundles.)
$ mkdir -p ~/.rbenv/plugins
$ cd ~/.rbenv/plugins
$ git clone https://github.com/sstephenson/rbenv-vars.git
Define environment variables in an .rbenv-vars file in your project,
one variable per line, in the format VAR=value. For example:
RUBY_GC_MALLOC_LIMIT=50000000
RUBY_HEAP_MIN_SLOTS=15000
RUBY_FREE_MIN=4096
You can perform variable substitution with the traditional $
syntax. For example, to append to GEM_PATH:
GEM_PATH=$GEM_PATH:/u/shared/gems
Spaces are allowed in values; quoting is not necessary. Expansion and
command substitution are not allowed. Lines beginning with # or any
lines not in the format VAR=value will be ignored.
Variables specified in the ~/.rbenv/vars file will be set first.
Then current version specific variables in
~/.rbenv/versions/versionname/vars. Then variables specified in
.rbenv-vars files in any parent directories of the current directory
will be set. Variables from the .rbenv-vars file in the current
directory are set last.
Use the rbenv vars command to print all environment variables in the
order they'll be set.
