swap out rake console IRB with PRY gem for syntax highlighting etc.

####before:

####after:

#####Requirements:

pry => gem install pry
my_gem => gem install my_gem

(or, better, put in your gemfile)

gem 'pry' gem 'my_gem'

#####in your Rakefile, modify your console task

Comment out

task :console do
  exec "irb -r./app.rb"
end

Note: copy the code from your exec line, here it is exec "irb -r./app.rb", but it might be different in other challenges. Put the line exactly as it was originally except replace irb with pry. Add the other lines below as outlined with the exec line replaced.

Include

task :console do
  require 'pry'
  require 'my_gem'
  exec "pry -r./app.rb"
  ARGV.clear
  Pry.start
end
