Updates records from the console via your preferred editor. You can update a record's columns as well as <i>any attribute</i> that has accessor methods. Records are edited via a temporary file and once saved, the records are updated. Records go through a filter before and after editing the file. Yaml is the default filter, but you can define your own filter simply with a module and 2 expected methods. See ConsoleUpdate::Filter for more details. Compatible with all major Ruby versions and Rails 2.3.x and up.

Color support for hirb

Hirb provides a mini view framework for console applications and uses it to improve ripl(irb)'s default inspect output. Given an object or array of objects, hirb renders a view based on the object's class and/or ancestry. Hirb offers reusable views in the form of helper classes. The two main helpers, Hirb::Helpers::Table and Hirb::Helpers::Tree, provide several options for generating ascii tables and trees. Using Hirb::Helpers::AutoTable, hirb has useful default views for at least ten popular database gems i.e. Rails' ActiveRecord::Base. Other than views, hirb offers a smart pager and a console menu. The smart pager only pages when the output exceeds the current screen size. The menu is used in conjunction with tables to offer two dimensional menus.

You have the beginnings of a ruby library and you want to access it quick. You don't want to bother making a gemspec for it and uninstalling/reinstalling its gem while you mess with it. Simply tell LocalGem what paths it should load for your local gem and they will be loaded. Note that it doesn't matter how gem-like your project is ie lib and bin directories etc. LocalGem only needs to know the full path to your gem/library.
