thoughtbot's collection of style guides and best-practice guides for programming, collaboration, and software development. It covers languages, frameworks, protocols, and team processes like code review and open source contribution.
Use cases
- adopt a consistent coding style guide for my team
- learn thoughtbot's Ruby and Rails best practices
- find guidelines for running code reviews
- get style guides for JavaScript, CSS, and HTML
- reference best practices for Git and Postgres
- establish team conventions for open source contributions
When to choose
- your team wants a battle-tested, opinionated set of coding and collaboration standards
- you work with Ruby, Rails, React, or iOS/Android and want thoughtbot's conventions
- you need guidance on code review and team collaboration processes
When to avoid
- you need executable linting or automated enforcement rather than prose guidelines
- you want a neutral, comprehensive standard rather than one consultancy's opinions
- you need guides for languages or stacks not covered here
