What is a .rb file?
Ruby (.rb) is a plain-text source file for the Ruby programming language — a dynamically typed, object-oriented scripting language known for expressive, readable syntax and blocks. Everything is an object, and it is widely used for web development (Rails), scripting, and automation.
How to use this file
Use an example .rb file to test syntax highlighters, the Ruby interpreter, linters and formatters (RuboCop), and parser or language-detection tooling.
