Irbtools 4.0 for IRB 1.6+

by Jan Lelis —

More recent versions of IRB introduced a bunch of useful commands like show_doc. The arguments to these commands don’t need to be Ruby objects, so that things like show_doc String#gsub just work.

The new Irbtools version extends this command mechanism with some new commands. One of them is $ for calling system commands. You can now just type $ top in your IRB console and it will open up the process manager!

See the README for more!
