DH_RUBY_FIXDOCS(1)

πŸ’– DH_RUBY_FIXDOCS(1) β€” the "bestie cleans up your rdoc folder" page πŸ’–

okay so hi, welcome to the manual for dh_ruby_fixdocs, which lives in section 1 of the manual (yep, that's the <pink>(1)</pink> part, that's what that means, slay). It's giving "tiny little helper script that nobody talks about but the build system literally cannot function without." Let's get into it 🫢


✨ NAME ✨

dh_ruby_fixdocs β€” the way it just... removes unused files from rdoc directories. that's the whole job. icon behaviour, honestly.


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

dh_ruby_fixdocs

that's it. no flags, no arguments, no drama. she takes zero input and she eats. periodt. πŸ’…


πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

so like, dh_ruby_fixdocs gets called by the ruby dh sequence. it's part of the squad, it shows up on cue, does its thing, leaves.

⚠️ bestie. listen. you should NOT call it directly. fr fr. it is not a "run it in your terminal for funsies" situation β€” it's a backstage crew member and you are not supposed to yank it onto the stage. let dh handle it. iykyk πŸ’€
