Sometimes it's useful to be able to load the gem and interact with the classes in order to test and debug the code.
A great way to do this is the bin/console file found in most gems.
When you load the console the default is to open irb with your project loaded. However, our standard is to use pry.
In fact, switching is so common that the code to use pry is automatically added when you create the gem. It's just commented out.
We bring in the gem pry-byebug, which in turn brings in the pry gem. So we have everything we need to switch to using our preferred REPL. Hence we make that change here.
