One project - 2 different versions of Ruby on 2 different computers.

I am building Ruby on Rails application, using tutorials on Treehouse.

On my iMac I have got installed ruby 2.0.0p195. On my laptop with Ubuntu 13.04 I run ruby 1.9.3p394 version.

Sometimes I go out and work from my laptop.

The question is: Can I work on one, same project using different versions of Ruby?

The easiest way would probably be to use rvm on your mac and install the 1.9.3 onto your iMac and then use github to sync the changes between the 2 computers.

James Barnett , to be honest with you I would prefer to use newest version of Ruby (it way faster). Now my question is can I still keep 1.9.3 for a week or so on my laptop with Ubuntu 13.04 and do some changes and when I switch to iMac can I continue on 2.0.0. Eeventually I want to update my Ruby to 2.0.0 on my laptop as well, but just not now.
