Airbnb's Ruby Style Guide, a documented set of coding conventions and best practices for writing Ruby and Rails code. It covers whitespace, naming, methods, classes, strings, and Rails-specific idioms, inspired by GitHub's and RuboCop's guides.

Use cases

• standardize Ruby code style across a team
• onboard new Ruby developers to Airbnb conventions
• configure RuboCop rules to match a house style
• resolve debates about Ruby formatting and idioms
• learn idiomatic Ruby and Rails practices

When to choose

• your team wants a well-known, battle-tested Ruby style guide to adopt
• you need a reference for consistent Ruby/Rails conventions
• you want a baseline for aligning RuboCop configuration

When to avoid

• you need an executable linter or formatter rather than a written guide
• your organization already has its own style guide
• you need style rules for languages other than Ruby
