A curated collection of 100+ real-world, open source Ruby on Rails applications and engines gathered via git submodules for developers to study. It includes inspector scripts (bin/rwr) for analyzing patterns across the collected codebases.

Use cases

• learn ruby on rails from real production apps
• find example usage of a rails method or gem
• study how experienced developers write rails tests
• research naming conventions for rails models
• see examples of rails engines and view specs

When to choose

• you learn best by reading real application code
• you want to survey patterns across many Rails apps
• you're researching Rails development practices

When to avoid

• you need a tutorial or structured curriculum
• you're not working with Ruby on Rails
• you want a runnable starter template rather than reference code
