Pry is a powerful runtime developer console and IRB (Interactive Ruby) alternative designed for Ruby programmers. It provides introspection, debugging, and REPL-driven development tools. With Pry, you can open a console session in the middle of a running program (using binding.pry), browse source code, examine objects and their state, navigate through scope objects, integrate shell commands, edit methods on the fly, and leverage plugins for extended functionality. It is intended to provide richer interactivity and introspection than the standard IRB.

Features

  • Source code browsing (including C core methods when using pry-doc)
  • Documentation browsing and live help system inside the console
  • Runtime invocation via binding.pry, letting you drop into a Pry session in the middle of running code
  • Navigation of runtime state via commands like cd, ls, etc., to explore object scopes and variables
  • Syntax highlighting and the ability to edit methods in an external editor directly from Pry
  • Shell integration: run shell commands, use git, rake, open editors, etc., from within Pry sessions
