Inch
A command-line tool that analyzes Ruby code documentation and suggests improvements without enforcing strict rules.
What is Inch?
Inch is a command-line utility that analyzes Ruby codebases to suggest where inline documentation can be improved. It evaluates documentation completeness using a grade system (A to U) and prioritizes suggestions based on code importance, helping developers enhance docs without enforcing strict formats or full coverage.
Ruby developers and teams who want to maintain or improve their code documentation in a flexible, non-intrusive way, especially those using YARD, RDoc, or TomDoc styles.
Developers choose Inch for its relaxed, suggestion-based approach that avoids coverage mandates, supports multiple documentation styles, and focuses on high-priority improvements, making it less overwhelming than strict coverage tools.
