A Rails template repository from thoughtbot whose branches each demonstrate a Hotwire (Turbo and Stimulus) pattern through incremental Git diffs with prose explanations. It serves as a hands-on tutorial collection for transmitting HTML over the wire in Rails applications.

Use cases

• learn how to build live preview with Turbo in Rails
• implement typeahead search using Hotwire
• add dynamic forms with Stimulus
• understand HTML-over-the-wire patterns in Rails
• find example implementations of Turbo Streams and Frames
• study commit-by-commit Hotwire feature tutorials

When to choose

• you are a Rails developer learning Hotwire, Turbo, or Stimulus through real, runnable examples
• you want step-by-step diffs showing how a feature is built
• you prefer prose explanations paired with working code

When to avoid

• you need a production-ready starter template or boilerplate to build on
• you are not using Ruby on Rails
• you expect fork-friendly upstream updates, since branches are rewritten retroactively
• you need a licensed, reusable codebase (no license is provided)
