Cool. I'd really like to use pry for my production console. Is there a way to start a Rails Pry console in production without forcing my coworkers to do the same?

A slight twist on 'Pry in Production' I've done is to drop a call to `binding.pry` in the code on a staging server. Then I can step through production data and inspect what's going on.

Installing the pry gem doesn't stop anyone from using irb if they prefer.

The way the article does it (using pry rails) will make 'rails console' use pry, so it does affect my coworkers.

Ah, got it. I misunderstood your question.
