      <title>irb history hack</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Okay, I&amp;#8217;ve posted a &lt;a href="http://www.robbyonrails.com/articles/2005/10/01/master-console-and-servant"&gt;few&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.robbyonrails.com/articles/2005/10/03/master-console-and-servant-part-two"&gt;things&lt;/a&gt; about &lt;code&gt;console&lt;/code&gt; recently and I know that you&amp;#8217;re all using it&amp;#8230; right?&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Well, &lt;a href="http://bitsweat.net/"&gt;Jeremy Kemper&lt;/a&gt; (bitsweat) mentioned at the &lt;a href="http://www.pdxruby.org"&gt;&lt;span class="caps"&gt;PDX&lt;/span&gt;.rb&lt;/a&gt; meeting last night that there was a way to keep history of your &lt;code&gt;irb&lt;/code&gt; commands. (more than just readline&amp;#8230; up-arrow&amp;#8217;n).&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;You can actually quit &lt;code&gt;irb&lt;/code&gt;, restart it and still see your history. This makes Robby happy.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?Irb/TipsAndTricks"&gt;See here for details&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Thanks Jeremy!&lt;/p&gt;
