Use rvmrc or ruby-version file to set a project gemset with RVM?

Question

I use RVM, the Ruby Version Manager to specify a Ruby version and a set of gems for each of my Rails projects.

I have a .rvmrc file to automatically sel

You can try both. Go to the root of your project, create a .rvmrc file (touch .rvmrc), then edit rvm use 2.0.0-p451@your_gemset (your ruby version and gemset name). After save this file, you can type this command:

cd ../your_project (you're in your_project directory), and the script in .rvmrc will execute.

The RVM recommend to use ruby-version. You can run this command to switch from .rvmrc to .ruby-version

rvm rvmrc to .ruby-version

What it does is create 2 files name .ruby-version, and .ruby-gemset and add this line

ruby-2.0.0-p451 in .ruby-version

your_gemset in .ruby-gemset

You can try to do it manually if you want :)
