如何在不同 Ruby 版本的轨道上远程协作？

Question

Is there a way to generate a rails project with a 'minimum' Ruby version? Perhaps to exclude the version altogether?

Situation: I am working on an introductory rails project with a remote partner (paired programming). We have a small difference in ruby version (2.5.1 and 2.5.8).

Set-up: $ rails _5.2.3_ new my_project_name -G --database=postgresql

We then update the gemfile to allow 'at least' version 2.5.1: ruby '~> 2.5.1'

Each time we pass the project it requires that we edit the /.ruby-version file to 2.5.1 and 2.5.8 respectively.

This /.ruby-version change is what I am trying to solve more permanently.

I am new to programming so any help would be appreciated, thank you!

There are ways you could force this to happen (go down the rabbit hole of .gitignore ing ruby version, etc)....but by far , the best way is to be developing on the same ruby version.
