Install: brew install chruby-fish

About:
chruby-fish is a lightweight integration script that enables the chruby Ruby version manager to function correctly within the Fish shell. It automatically modifies the shell's PATH and environment variables when switching Ruby versions. This allows developers using Fish to seamlessly manage and switch between multiple Ruby installations just as they would in Bash or Zsh.

Key Features:

Seamless chruby integration for the Fish shell
Automatic Ruby version switching on directory change
Lightweight with no external dependencies beyond chruby and Fish

Use Cases:

Managing multiple Ruby versions (e.g., 2.7, 3.0, 3.1) in a Fish shell environment
Automatically switching Ruby versions when navigating to project directories with .ruby-version files

Alternatives:

rbenv – rbenv is a more feature-rich version manager with a shims-based approach, whereas chruby-fish is a simpler wrapper for the minimalist chruby tool.
rvm – RVM is a comprehensive tool that manages environments, gemsets, and rubies, while chruby-fish focuses solely on switching the active Ruby interpreter.
