Open-Source-Ruby-and-Rails-Apps VS RubyGems

I'd suggest picking an open source repo and giving yourself a very simple task, like changing some text on a specific page, doubling up every row in some data-driven table, something like that. It doesn't have to be sensible, it just has to be something that forces you to learn

If you love doing hands-on project, I recommend you to look at the existing awesome Rails app. You will learn a lot, and learn what matters.

I already make a tons of awesome Ruby on Rails list here;

I also found this kind of list here on GitHub.

Check this new version 🔥.

Here we go 🚀.

However, let's examine a typical partial, such as the one from the . rubygems.org search show page

github.com/rubygems/rubygems.org (26k lines): Where Ruby gems are hosted.

If anyone is looking to do some open source contributions on a mature, production Ruby on Rails site, I highly recommend contributing to the rubygems.org project. The code is extremely clean and the repo is very, very well run.

RubyGems does have gem signing, but it's not widely used.

There's a proposal for a new "one button" approach using sigstore[0].

Other ecosystems are also looking at sigstore too, and a lot of us are cooperating in the OpenSSF Securing Software Repos WG [1]. Package signing is a regular topic of discussion and there are various efforts underway.

Disclosure: I am involved with both of these.
