Projects and Libraries in Ruby
1. Introduction to Projects
In Ruby, a project is any collection of multiple files and subdirectories that form a single instance of a Ruby application or library. Projects are essential for organizing code, especially as the complexity of the application grows. Instead of writing everything in a single file, breaking down the code into smaller, manageable pieces allows for better maintenance and scalability.
Key Components of a Project
- Files : Individual Ruby files that contain specific functionalities.
- Subdirectories : Organize files into logical groups.
- Dependencies : External libraries or modules that
