Hi Michael ~

I used wirble when I first started exploring ruby and experimenting
with customizing irb. As josh mentioned you'll want to create a .irbrc
file which will be read and run when you execute irb in your shell.
You may want to dig deeper and explore how to configure your own color
theme as well which also would be put into the rc file as well.

If you are interested in an alternative repl to the ruby core irb
program pry is a decent option which has color on by default and some
vary exotic extentions in and unto itself with step debugging, emacs
like editing from the repl and manual help pages and code exploration
built in.

Enjoy your discovery of the language and happy hacking.
