If you want "just" a version manager for ruby, I'd go with rbenv. But if you use, say, node and python too - I'd go with asdf:

https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf-ruby

Keeps the stampede of VMs out of your bashrc.

That's a great share! Didn't know about `asdf`, and not having to load ~4 different language version managers is a solid win.

It also looks like `asdf` Does The Right Thing and uses shims, unlike `rvm`, which, as of the last time I checked, overrides shell builtins, which is a straight-up WTF where I come from.

I've since moved my ruby projects over to asdf for its simplicity, and the fact that you're going to be stuck using something to manage node anyways.

I’m still on rbebv amnbs clones like nodenv.
