Took me three tries to find something. Here's my results:



irb(main):032:0> require 'ruby-debug'
de=> true
irb(main):033:0> debugger

Type 'help <command-name>' for help on a specific command

Available commands:
backtrace  delete   enable  help    next  quit     show    trace
break      disable  eval    info    p     reload   source  undisplay
catch      display  exit    irb     pp    restart  step    up
condition  down     finish  list    ps    save     thread  var
continue   edit     frame   method  putl  set      tmate   where

(rdb:1) help step
s[tep][+-]?[ nnn]  step (into methods) once or nnn times
    '+' forces to move to another line.
    '-' is the opposite of '+' and disables the force_stepping setting.
(rdb:1) help up
up[count]  move to higher frame
(rdb:1) help continue
c[ont[inue]][ nnn]  run until program ends, hits a breakpoint or reaches 
line nnn
(rdb:1) help finish
fin[ish] [frame-number]  Execute until selected stack frame returns.

If no frame number is given, we run until the currently selected frame
returns.  The currently selected frame starts out the most-recent
frame or 0 if no frame positioning (e.g "up", "down" or "frame") has
been performed. If a frame number is given we run until that frame
returns.
