Making the rails console output a little more pretty

Also you could use this incredible gem:

Awesome Print


If you don't want to use a gem, here's the low rent version:

 puts User.all.to_yaml

A bit more elegant shorthand:

y User.all

I've been using pp. The pp stands for "pretty print." No Gem required.

On rails console try doing this:

pp User.all

You'll get each attributes and their value in the record display in a row instead a bundle of them if you simply do User.all.

Here's the documentation:

https://ruby-doc.org/stdlib-2.1.0/libdoc/pp/rdoc/PP.html

I am using Rails 5.1.3 and ruby 2.4.1p111 and it came already installed in my project. If this don't work, I imagine you have to do require 'pp'. I hope this helps.
