bundle-console(1) -- Deprecated way to open an IRB session with the bundle pre-loaded
=====================================================================================

## SYNOPSIS

`bundle console` [GROUP]

## DESCRIPTION

Starts an interactive Ruby console session in the context of the current bundle.

If no `GROUP` is specified, all gems in the `default` group in the [Gemfile(5)](https://bundler.io/man/gemfile.5.html) are
preliminarily loaded.

If `GROUP` is specified, all gems in the given group in the Gemfile in addition
to the gems in `default` group are loaded. Even if the given group does not
exist in the Gemfile, IRB console starts without any warning or error.

The environment variable `BUNDLE_CONSOLE` or `bundle config set console` can be used to change
the shell from the following:

* `irb` (default)
* `pry` (https://github.com/pry/pry)
* `ripl` (https://github.com/cldwalker/ripl)

`bundle console` uses irb by default. An alternative Pry or Ripl can be used with
`bundle console` by adjusting the `console` Bundler setting. Also make sure that
`pry` or `ripl` is in your Gemfile.

## EXAMPLE

    $ bundle config set console pry
    $ bundle console
    Resolving dependencies...
    [1] pry(main)>

## NOTES

This command was deprecated in Bundler 2.1 and will be removed in 3.0.
Use `bin/console` script, which can be generated by `bundle gem <NAME>`.
