+Configures [Ruby][1] local gem installation, loads version managers, and defines
+aliases.
+
+Local Gem Installation
+----------------------
+
+When a Ruby version manager is not detected, local gems are installed in
+*~/Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8* on Mac OS X.
+
+RVM
+---
+
+An alternative to the above is to use [The Ruby Version Manager (RVM)][2], which
+allows for managing multiple, isolated Ruby installations and gem sets in the
+home directory.
+
+Since RVM is loaded into the shell and is known to override shell commands, it
+may conflict with shell scripts.
+
+rbenv
+-----
+
+An alternative RVM is to use [rbenv][3], which allows for switching between multiple,
+isolated Ruby installations in the home directory.
+
+While it is not as feature rich as RVM, it is not loaded into the shell and is
+not known to cause conflicts with shell scripts.
+
+Bundler
+-------
+
+Manage gems that are not meant to be used as commands, such as application
+dependencies, with [Bundler][4].
