In console use coninue, step, next, finish commands:

finish: Execute until current stack frame returns.

Pry.commands.alias_command ‘c’, ‘continue’ rescue nil
Pry.commands.alias_command ‘s’, ‘step’ rescue nil
Pry.commands.alias_command ‘n’, ‘next’ rescue nil
Pry.commands.alias_command ‘f’, ‘finish’ rescue nil
