[jruby-user] dealing with .ruby-version file

[Tim Uckun]

I have a project which I want to test with jruby.  I created a jruby fork of the project and started hacking away the gemfile and other stuff but of course changing the .ruby-version file always causes a conflict with the master branch.

I am wondering if anybody has a cool trick to set up the .ruby-version based on the git branch or something like that.

It shouldn’t cause a conflict unless you keep changing the version on master. If you create a new branch, edit .ruby-version, and then keep merging from master where .ruby-version has not been modified, then git should not see any conflicts.

When you do change the Ruby version on master, which I guess is once every few months, you then have a one-line conflict which you can easy fix.
