About:
rbenv-binstubs is a plugin for rbenv that automatically adds your project's 'bin' directory to your PATH when you enter a directory. This ensures that Bundler binstubs like 'rails', 'rspec', or 'bundle' are executed directly without needing to prefix them with 'bundle exec'. It provides a seamless workflow for projects relying on local executables.
Key Features:
  • Automatic PATH modification for 'bin' directories
  • Seamless integration with rbenv
  • Eliminates the need for 'bundle exec' prefix
  • Improves shell command completion performance
Use Cases:
  • Developing Ruby on Rails applications using binstubs
  • Running project-specific executables without prefixing
  • Managing multiple Ruby projects with different dependencies
Alternatives:
  • bundler – Bundler manages dependencies, while rbenv-binstubs focuses on making the resulting executables accessible in the shell environment.
  • direnv – direnv is a general-purpose environment switcher, whereas rbenv-binstubs is specifically optimized for rbenv and Ruby binstub workflows.
