Alias your common Ruby commands for a faster workflow

If you're a Rubyist, you probably use the likes of rspec, cucumber, rake, and other commands frequently. And it's likely that you might be running them using bundle exec to execute them in the context of your project's bundle. After finding I was spending a lot of time typing each of these commands, I added a few aliases to my shell config to speed up my workflow:

alias rsp='bundle exec rspec'
alias cuc='bundle exec cucumber'
alias rak='bundle exec rake'
alias mm='bundle exec middleman'

Paste these into your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc, restart your shell, and now running an rspec test in the context of your bundle is as simple as:

rsp spec/models/banana_spec.rb
