chruby VS nix-cde

Let’s get started. I prefer to manage my Ruby installations on my development machine with chruby paired with ruby-install. Another outstanding set of tools is rbenv with ruby-build. I highly recommend installing Ruby with one of those two sets of tools. Follow the instructions on their project’s READMEs. For this article, I’ll be running Ruby (MRI) v3.3.0.

To fix this, you’d need to install Ruby correctly using a version manager such as chruby. You’d need to install Homebrew on your Mac first using the command below in your terminal:

Now about the second point on the complexity of the shim strategy (cf. the rbenv implementation) with respect to the PATH update strategy (cf. the chruby implementation), what do you think?

I don’t want any of the bells & whistles that come with rvm and rbenv; I prefer the simplicity of chruby. I’ve used it for 10 years (is that possible?!) and I’ve never cursed at it.

When you type chruby, the function is executed. If it doesn't do what you expect, it's either an issue with the function or your expectations aren't warranted. In any case you'll need to seek help from people who supplied you with this function. If your chrubby function is this one, you can ask from help on https://github.com/postmodern/chruby.

I knew I saw your username somewhere in my investigation: Properly handle gems installed via --user-install.

I use homebrew, chruby, and ruby-install.

This is what I'm using with gitlab: https://github.com/takeda/nix-cde/blob/master/contrib/gitlab...

I myself use https://github.com/takeda/nix-cde it just wraps other projects in an opinionated way and contains the boiler plate that I would normally use otherwise.

There's a project that does this with using Nix: https://github.com/takeda/nix-cde (this is a wrapper around https://github.com/nix-community/poetry2nix)

I personally use this: https://github.com/takeda/nix-cde it has the benefit of a reproducible build environment, but unfortunately anything involving Nix has a steep learning curve.

I use this myself: https://github.com/takeda/nix-cde

I don't use NixOS myself, but have Nix installed on my Mac, and it seems to provide all functionality of package or version managers I needed.

I think though it is more complex because it is a programming language that provides this functionality instead of purpose build tool like asdf.

For my needs I created a framework for development: https://github.com/takeda/nix-cde to avoid cruft of including the same things over and over in my projects.

Not an OP, but I became a big fan of using poetry for managing dependencies. For managing python version I started using Nix package manager. It allows to describe all dependencies via code, but with time that code became a boilerplate, so I created this: https://github.com/takeda/nix-cde

It works very well for me so far.
