This branch is my journey into EdgeCase’s Ruby Koans, written by Jim Weirich and Joe O’Brien. A nice way along which I could review my understanding of the Ruby language, as well as learn more about it.
« The Ruby Koans walk you along the path to enlightenment in order to learn Ruby. The goal is to learn the Ruby language, syntax, structure, and some common functions and libraries. We also teach you culture. Testing is not just something we pay lip service to, but something we live. It is essential in your quest to learn and do great things in the language. » from the original documentation
I forked the ruby_koans repository, generated the Koans, created a new empty branch called mytake and did copy the generated Koans there:
[~] $ git clone -b master https://github.com/olange/ruby_koans
[~] $ cd ruby_koans
[ruby_koans] $ rake gen # generates the koans directory
[ruby_koans] $ mv koans /tmp/koans
[ruby_koans] $ git symbolic-ref HEAD refs/heads/mytake # create a new empty branch
[ruby_koans] $ rm .git/index
[ruby_koans] $ git clean -fdx
[ruby_koans] $ mv /tmp/koans .
[ruby_koans] $ git add koans
[ruby_koans] $ git commit -m 'Initial import of the Ruby Koans'
From there, I also did restore the .gitignore, Rakefile and README.rdoc files and started filling the missing terms within the assertions that the Koans provide.
Assuming you have installed Ruby and cloned this branch, here is how you could run the Ruby Koans:
[ruby_koans] $ rake # runs the default target :walk_the_path [ruby_koans] $ ruby path_to_enlightenment.rb # simply call the file directly
Please check out the original documentation for more information on installing Ruby and using the Koans.
The Ruby Koans were written by EdgeCase Jim Weirich and Joe O’Brien. Many thanks!
