MULTIRUBY.1(1)
β¨ multiruby β the manual page, bestie edition β¨
okay so this is the page for multiruby from section 1 of the manual (that's MULTIRUBY.1(1) if you're being formal π
). it's short, it's sweet, and it will absolutely save your whole entire life when your gem decides to break on one specific Ruby. let's get into it π«Ά
πΈ NAME πΈ
multiruby β runs anything you want on multiple versions of ruby π
like. literally anything. on multiple rubies. the dream, no cap.
π SYNOPSIS π
multiruby ./TestMyProject.rb
that's it, that's the whole vibe. you hand it a script, it runs that script everywhere. iconic behavior β¨
π DESCRIPTION π
so here's the tea: multiruby runs anything you want on multiple versions of ruby. anything. your test file, your script, your weird little one-off thing you wrote at 2am β all of it, across every ruby version you've got.
it's great for compatibility checking! like, if you've ever shipped something that worked on your machine and then exploded on someone else's ruby, this is the tool that catches that before it becomes a whole situation ππ₯
and when you need to actually manage which ruby versions you have installed? that's not multiruby's job, bestie β use multiruby_setup for that. it handles the install-and-manage side, multiruby handles the run-it-everywhere side. they're a duo, they're giving main character energy together π
ngl the description is one sentence long and honestly? it ate. concise queen behavior. π
