You'll also need to add $(cd $(which gem)/..;pwd) to your PATH in .zshenv or other sourced file.

Note: brew cleanup deletes old versions -- don't run it!

Switching versions

ruby -v
brew switch ruby 1.9.3-p392
ruby -v
brew switch ruby 2.0.0-p0

Note: For gem bins to work, you'll need to restart your shell
