$ ps aux | grep ruby
user 1565 3.7 0.1 4307464 17696 s000 S+ 7:31AM 0:00.61 /Users/user/.rbenv/versions/2.3.1/bin/ruby bin/rails c
user 1579 0.0 0.0 4268020 788 s001 S+ 7:31AM 0:00.00 grep ruby
user 1489 0.0 0.0 0 0 ?? Z 7:29AM 0:00.00 (ruby)

How do I quickly kill all these processes?

What I tried:

kill -9 `ps aux | grep ruby`

My environment:

I'm upvoting your answer. Mine works as well but yours is cleaner and less tedious. I'm aware of the pkill command but I use kill out of habit and didn't want to give misinformation as I didn't have a computer to test at the time.
