How to format irb command prompt
Previously I was using Ruby 1.8 and my irb command prompt used to look like this: Air ~: irb >> a = 1 => 1 >> b = 2 => 2 >> a + b => 3 I installed rvm (and Ruby 1.9.2) and now my irb command prompt looks like this: Air ~: irb ruby-1.9.2-p180 :001 > a = 1 => 1 ruby-1.9.2-p180 :002 > b = 2 => 2 ruby-1.9.2-p180 :003 > a + b => 3 Is there a way to remove the ruby-1.9.2-p180 :001 from the command line? The irb man page has a section on " Customizing prompt ". Here's mine for example: IRB.conf[:PROMPT][:CUSTOM] = { :PROMPT_I => ">> ", :PROMPT_S => "%l>> ", :PROMPT_C => ".. ", :PROMPT_N => ".. ",
