Managing Ruby Projects with RVM
summary
A shell-based Ruby version manager that actually installs multiple interpreters, isolates gem sets per project, and automates environment switching with a per-directory file; the tool is ~4,000 lines of bash, bootstraps Ruby without a system Ruby, and runs tests or benchmarks across multiple interpreters (the demo runs against three Rubies). Examples include rvm install 1.8.6 1.9.1 jruby and per-project .rvmrc gemset import, and the workflow demonstrably works.
