Come Join Our Community-led Cookstyle Hack Fest!

Join us on Tuesday, July 30 at any time between 9:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. (PST) for all things Cookstyle! David Crosby, production engineer at Meta, organized a day for practitioners and anyone familiar with Progress Chef Infra Client. This is an informal hack fest and everyone is welcome to join for as long as they like.

Cookstyle is a code linting tool that helps you write better Chef Infra cookbooks by detecting and automatically correcting style, syntax, and logic mistakes in your code. Cookstyle is powered by the RuboCop linting engine. Read more in the documentation and on the GitHub repo.

If you’re a first-time contributor, please go over the contribution guide and get your DCO piece done prior. This is a great opportunity to learn how to use Cookstyle, how to read Ruby abstract syntax trees and how to write basic Cookstyle cops.

For more information and instructions for joining the event, please join the Community Slack and check out the #cookstyle channel. We’ll post more details there and can answer any questions!
