== DESCRIPTION:
PIK is a tool to switch between multiple versions of ruby on Windows. You have to tell it where
your different ruby versions are located using 'pik add'. Then you can change to one by using
'pik switch'.
It also has a "sort of" multiruby functionality in 'pik run'.
== FEATURES/PROBLEMS:
Currently, changes are to the open cmd session only. I haven't wired up the --global switch yet.
Specs are very incomplete.
'pik config' could be dangerous. Use only if you know what you're doing.
Only works on CRuby at present.
== SYNOPSIS:
pik commands are:
add Add another ruby location to pik.
checkup Checks your environment for current Ruby best practices.
run Runs command with all version of ruby that pik is aware of.
rm Remove a ruby location from pik.
switch Switches to a different version.
help Diskplays help topics.
For help on a particular command, use 'pik help COMMAND'.
Example:
C:\>pik run "gem in hpricot --no-ri --no-rdoc"
