[I]nstead of constantly griping about having to type Hirb.enable, I found how to automagically load it in the Rails console: 1. In your home directory [ ~ ], type subl .irbrc 2. Paste in this bit: if defined?(Rails) && Rails.env require ‘hirb’ Hirb.enable end 3. Save and enjoy*. *Confirmed working with OS X 10.6.8 and [Rails] 4.0.2 Yes, my OS is old and janky - stop laughing. via Poop’s comment at http://tagaholic.me/2009/09/07/hirb-tips-for-rails.html
