Just about a year ago to date I posted some useful Bash shortcuts for Ruby on Rails commands. These are mix of aliases and functions that detect what version of Rails is present and routes commands which ever way that version expects, i.e. ./script/console versus rails console. Now that Rails 4.1 ships with Spring by default, there is yet one more way commands could be routed – through the spring binstubs. I’ve recently updated my shortcuts to account for this. Now my commands will use the binstubs if they are present, or fallback to the other version-dependent methods.

# RUBY / RUBY ON RAILS COMMANDS alias bexec='bundle exec' alias rails_mv="bexec rails -v | sed 's/Rails $[0-9]$.*/\1/g'" # Alias the rake command to Spring binstubs or fallback to "bundle exec" # http://goo.gl/HkhHAf, http://goo.gl/STtIvF function brake { if [ -f bin/rake ] then bin/rake "$@" else if [ `rails_mv` -lt 3 ]; then rake "$@" else bexec rake "$@" fi fi } function brails { if [ -f bin/rake ] then bin/rails "$@" else bexec rails "$@" fi } function cons { if [ `rails_mv` -lt 3 ]; then ./script/console "$@" else brails c "$@" fi } function dbcons { if [ `rails_mv` -lt 3 ]; then echo "Not supported in this version of Rails (`rails -v`)" else brails db "$@" fi } function gen { if [ `rails_mv` -lt 3 ]; then ./script/generate "$@" else brails g "$@" fi } function srv { if [ `rails_mv` -lt 3 ]; then ./script/server "$@" else brails s "$@" fi } function run { if [ `rails_mv` -lt 3 ]; then ./script/runner "$@" else brails r "$@" fi } alias sandbox='cons --sandbox'

H/T to makandracards for helping me figure this out.
