I use the Rails console mainly to poke around in my database. Unfortunately the display of the records returned leaves a lot to be desired. Hirb solves this problem perfectly! Here are the quick steps you need to get the basic functionaliy:
- Install the gem: sudo gem install cldwalker-hirb –source http://gems.github.com
- Start the console: ruby script/console
- Require Hirb: require ‘hirb’
- Enable it: Hirb.enable
- Try it: x = Model.find(:all)
