Pry DRb gives you a way to keep variables alive across pry sessions!

For just vanilla Rubygems: 'gem install pry-drb'

If you're using Bundler:

group :development do
  gem 'pry'
  gem 'pry-drb'
end

1. Run the pry-drb daemon:

$ pry-drb

2. Inside Pry, you can then store values in DRB:

pry(main) [1]> DRB[:awesome] = 5
=> 5

3. In another Pry, you can then access that value!:

pry(main) [1]> DRB[:awesome]
=> 5

Objects that you put into DRb can be accessed in other Pry sessions running at the same time, or even by a Pry that open later in the day!

If you need to stop the DRb server you can run pry-drb stop. This will throw away anything you've stored in DRB from within Pry.
