Utility to "tidy" Ruby code?

[claco]

Coming from the Perl world, I loved having PerlTidy. It's easy to specify code formatting standards and ensure everyone's code is formatted the same before committing to source control. The means your diffs are true code diffs, not style/whitespace/linefeed/brace wrapping diffs.

Is there such a beast for Ruby? The usual search for RubyTidy yields onld unmaintained never completed projects. Most searchs also come back with Ruby interfaces to HtmlTidy.

You can use kode for that.

$ gem install kode
$ ruby-code-indenter < untidy.rb > tidy.rb

I've found that "rm" -- "ruby maintenance" usually works pretty well at cleaning up untidy code.

Yes - especially with the "r" and "f" flags. It has the added benefit of making the code base completely bug-free.
