A simple way to search ruby help on Google

Aiuto

Aiuto means "help" in Italian. This is a gem to help you to search Ruby helpers on Google by filtering on specific websites.

Install the gem with:

gem install aiuto

Then try it with:

aiuto Ruby is awesome

YEAH! Google is open and there are only Ruby blogs, forums and similia. No pages about stones and jewels!

Which websites do you use for filtering?

This is the list of websites used in the gem. However by default only the websites under "blog", "git", "docs" and "social" are used by default.

{
  blog: ["rubyflow.com", "medium.com", "rubylearning.com",
    "rubyinside.com", "yehudakatz.com", "sitepoint.com/ruby",
    "afreshcup.com", "rubyguides.com", "justinweiss.com",
    "sandimetz.com", "guides.railsgirls.com"],
  git:  ["github.com", "gitlab.com"],
  docs: ["ruby-doc.org", "devdocs.io/ruby", "rubydoc.info",
    "guides.rubyonrails.org"],
  social: ["stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/ruby",
    "ruby-forum.com", "reddit.com/r/ruby", "reddit.com/r/rails"],
  utility: ["ruby.libhunt.com"],
  rails: ["opensourcerails.com", "guides.rubyonrails.org",
    "reddit.com/r/rails",
    "stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/ruby-on-rails"],
  beginner: ["eloquentruby.com",
    "pragprog.com/book/ruby4/programming-ruby-1-9-2-0",
    "ruby.learncodethehardway.org/book",
    "http://mislav.uniqpath.com/poignant-guide/",
    "https://www.manning.com/books/rails-4-in-action",
    "railstutorial.org/book"],
  advanced: ["patshaughnessy.net", "confidentruby.com",
    "pragprog.com/book/ager/exceptional-ruby", "rubyfu.net"]
}

If you want to use different filters you can use "-f" followed by the filter you want to use. Like this:

aiuto Rails is awesome -f rails beginner

In this case we filter by using the websites in the group "rails" and "beginner".

Do you have other commands like "-f" ?

Yes! I provide -no to remove all the filters, and -r to remove the word "ruby" from the search.

Futher I add aiuto --help for helps on the terminal and aiuto --list for returning the above list.

Hey! I want to use DuckDuckGo or other filters

Please create issue or do some pull requests for any idea you have.
