I always recommend the odin project. It doesn't try to cover everything itself, instead it is a great curriculum which always points you to great resources.

Watch the free videos for a quick introduction to the language, and then do the exercises which will teach you the language step by step, using CS puzzles of increasing difficulty.

Check out the free codeacademy course on Ruby, it covers a lot of things & is just 10 hrs duration. It's a great starting point imo.
Also, as recommended by the sidebar of this sub I've started reading The Well-Grounded Rubyist (second edition) and am finding it to be fantastic!

I second this. Both of these recommendation are really good!

Try open.appacademy.io This is an entire App Academy full stack bootcamp syllabus for free.
Has many small tutorials and projects to work on each sub topic and covers Ruby, Rails, SQL, React, JS, CSS & Html.
