This extension pack contains an opinionated collection of pre-configured extensions for Ruby development in VS Code:
Note that the Sorbet extension will only be activated if your project is onboarded to the Sorbet type checker. Also, the Ruby LSP extension includes a debugger for common debugging use-cases. You may need to use the Ruby Debugger extension for certain scenarios.
Note
This extension does not implement any Ruby related features. It's just a pack containing other extensions, which are the ones that deliver the features. If you encounter Sorbet related issues, please report them in https://github.com/sorbet/sorbet If you are using RDBG to debug and encounter issues, please report them in https://github.com/ruby/vscode-rdbg For other Ruby development issues, please report them in https://github.com/Shopify/vscode-ruby-lsp

The commands offered to help manage the recommended settings are:
"Ruby extension pack: Force apply defaults" -> Apply all defaults
"Ruby extension pack: Clear cache and recommended settings" -> Clear all cached choices and remove the recommended settings
Included in this extension is the Spinel dark theme, which is made specifically for Ruby using all of the semantic highlighting information provided by the Ruby LSP.
