What is chruby?
chruby is a minimal Ruby version manager that changes the current Ruby version by updating shell environment variables. It solves the problem of managing multiple Ruby installations on a single system without the complexity of larger version managers. The tool focuses exclusively on switching Ruby environments while maintaining correct gem paths and other Ruby-related variables.
Ruby developers who need to switch between different Ruby versions for different projects and prefer a lightweight, focused tool over more complex version managers.
Developers choose chruby for its simplicity, minimal codebase, and focused feature set that avoids unnecessary complexity. It provides reliable Ruby switching without hooking into shell commands or requiring special permissions, making it easier to understand and maintain than alternatives.
