## What it is
Rails Girls Guides is a Jekyll-based website containing step-by-step tutorials for learning Ruby on Rails, created for the Rails Girls community that helps women get started with technology. The repository hosts the guides content and site source, which can be run locally with Jekyll or viewed at guides.railsgirls.com.

## Use cases
- learn ruby on rails as a complete beginner
- build my first web app with rails
- organize a programming workshop for beginners
- find step-by-step rails installation instructions
- host a rails tutorial site with jekyll
- teach web development to women new to coding

## When to choose
- you are a beginner wanting a gentle, guided introduction to Ruby on Rails
- you are organizing a Rails Girls-style workshop and need ready-made teaching materials
- you want multilingual beginner tutorials maintained by an active community

## When to avoid
- you need advanced or comprehensive Rails documentation rather than beginner tutorials
- you want a runnable software library or tool rather than educational content
- you are learning a framework other than Ruby on Rails

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: documentation, developer-tools
- domain: tutorials, web-development, education
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: ruby-on-rails, jekyll, beginner-friendly, workshop-guides, women-in-tech, web-server
