Overview:

The latest version is 0.10.0. See the CHANGELOG for more information on what's changed

Welcome to the official wiki for the Pry REPL: a powerful IRB alternative and runtime developer console for Ruby. Note that not every aspect of Pry is covered in the material below, just a very significant chunk. For basic information on getting started it is recommended you watch the introductory screencast.

At the moment, the supported versions of Ruby are 1.8.7, 1.9.2, 1.9.3, jruby and rbx. Note that Pry 0.9.X supports Ruby 1.8.7 but Pry 1.0+ will not support 1.8.7.

If you have any problems or queries first check the FAQ and if you do not find what you need there file an issue or contact me.

Thanks!
