NAME
rbenv - manage your application's Ruby environment
SYNOPSIS
rbenv <command> [<args>...]
DESCRIPTION
rbenv respects the .ruby-version file in a project directory by making sure that any ruby, gem, bundle, or other Ruby command invocation automatically invokes the Ruby version configured for that project.
It does so by generating shims for all Ruby executables. As long as rbenv shims directory is prepended to PATH, rbenv automatically ensures transparent switching between Ruby versions.
rbenv looks for available Ruby versions in the $RBENV_ROOT/versions directory.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
RBENV_VERSION (default: read from .ruby-version file)
The Ruby version name to be used
RBENV_ROOT (default: ~/.rbenv)
The location where rbenv discovers Ruby versions, plugins, and other configuration
RBENV_DEBUG
Activates printing debug information about rbenv internals to standard error
RBENV_HOOK_PATH
Colon-separated list of paths searched for rbenv plugin scripts
RBENV_DIR (default: $PWD)

PLUGINS
As its core functionality, rbenv only switches between Ruby versions and does nothing else, but offers a plugin mechanism to hook into and override almost any aspect of its default behavior.
The most common plugin for rbenv is ruby-build which facilitates installing new Ruby versions into the $RBENV_ROOT/versions directory.
