Our expected way of managing Rubies is with rbenv: https://github.com/thoughtbot/laptop/blob/master/common-components/ruby-environment We load rbenv and add `.git/safe/../../bin:$PATH` to our $PATH in: https://github.com/thoughtbot/dotfiles/blob/master/zshrc Loading rbenv in `zshrc` is recommended by the rbenv docs: https://github.com/sstephenson/rbenv#basic-github-checkout Assuming the binstubs for a project are in the local bin/ directory, we go a step further to add the directory to shell $PATH so that rspec can be invoked without the bin/ prefix: export PATH="./bin:$PATH" Doing so on a system that other people have write access to (such as a shared host) is a security risk: rbenv/rbenv#309 The `.git/safe` convention addresses the security problem: https://twitter.com/tpope/status/165631968996900865 This zsh fix may be necessary for OS users in order to fix a bug: https://github.com/thoughtbot/laptop/blob/master/mac-components/zsh-fix

This doesn't address the problem of other users having write access to your files. They can still create executables that will end up in your |

Our expected way of managing Rubies is with rbenv:
https://github.com/thoughtbot/laptop/blob/master/common-components/ruby-environment
We load rbenv and add
.git/safe/../../bin:$PATHto our $PATH in:https://github.com/thoughtbot/dotfiles/blob/master/zshrc
Loading rbenv in
zshrcis recommended by the rbenv docs:https://github.com/sstephenson/rbenv#basic-github-checkout
Assuming the binstubs for a project are in the local bin/ directory, we go a
step further to add the directory to shell $PATH so that rspec can be invoked
without the bin/ prefix:
export PATH="./bin:$PATH"Doing so on a system that other people have write access to (such as a shared
host) is a security risk:
rbenv/rbenv#309
The
.git/safeconvention addresses the security problem:https://twitter.com/tpope/status/165631968996900865
