## What it is
A collection of written guides by Ryan Bigg covering Ruby ecosystem tooling, notably developing a RubyGem using Bundler, Thor, RSpec, and Cucumber, plus Elixir topics. It is a personal documentation repository rather than software.

## Use cases
- learn how to build and publish a ruby gem with bundler
- guide for setting up rspec and cucumber in a new gem
- understanding the bundle gem workflow
- beginner tutorials for ruby ecosystem tools
- elixir learning guides

## When to choose
- you want step-by-step prose tutorials for Ruby gem development with Bundler
- you prefer learning by reading a documented end-to-end workflow
- you want free community-written guides on Ruby tooling

## When to avoid
- you need up-to-date documentation for current tool versions
- you need officially maintained reference docs
- you need executable software or libraries rather than written guides

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: abandoned
- function: documentation
- domain: developer-tools, tutorials, programming-languages
- platform: ruby, elixir
- tags: ruby-guides, elixir-guides, bundler, gem-development, tutorials
