rbenv: Display the currently selected Ruby version.

rbenv

$ rbenv version

try on your machine

The command "rbenv version" is used to display the currently active Ruby version set by rbenv, a popular Ruby version management tool.

When executed, the command will output the currently active Ruby version in your current shell session. This can be helpful when you have multiple versions of Ruby installed and want to verify which version is currently in use.

Here is an example output of the command:

2.7.3 (set by /home/user/.rbenv/version)

In this example, the active Ruby version is "2.7.3" and it is set by the file "/home/user/.rbenv/version". The path to the version file may vary depending on your system configuration.

Note that rbenv allows you to switch between different Ruby versions easily. By using commands like "rbenv global", "rbenv local", or "rbenv shell", you can set the desired Ruby version to be used for your projects. The "rbenv version" command provides information about the currently active version.
