How to contribute to a Ruby project
Run `bundle install`, then the test suite with `bundle exec rspec` or `rake test`. Use the Ruby version in `.ruby-version`.
- Match the project's RuboCop config — style is usually enforced.
- Write a spec for your change; Ruby projects expect tests.
- Documentation and refactor issues are good, low-risk starters.
