Is RVM supposed to update `.ruby-version` or am I meant to edit it manually?

Question

I upgraded to Ruby 2.0, but when I am in my project directory, entering rvm use 2.0 followed by rvm list shows 2.0 is selected, but my .ruby-version file is unchanged. Is this supposed to be the case and I should edit the file manually, or have I missed something?

You are supposed to edit it manually. When you cd into the directory with a .ruby-version, rvm will automatically use the version defined in it. So instead of rvm use 2.0, just edit your .ruby-version and RVM will automatically switch for you.

Well, if you use rvm use 2.0 its taking affect system wide. But the .ruby-version its for project scope and it wont update running this command.

So, you'll need update it manually.
