Okay, I’ve posted a few things about console recently and I know that you’re all using it… right?

Well, Jeremy Kemper (bitsweat) mentioned at the PDX.rb meeting last night that there was a way to keep history of your irb commands. (more than just readline… up-arrow’n).

You can actually quit irb, restart it and still see your history. This makes Robby happy.

See here for details

Thanks Jeremy!
