This project follows the Ruby Style Guide aside from a couple of differences:

  • Documented using TomDoc instead of RDoc.
  • Double quotes are always preferred over single quotes unless escaping them becomes a nightmare.
  • There are no spaces around = for default arguments in a method. This is just a personal thing.

Double check the code using bundle exec rubocop before submitting a pull request.
