Rails 3: guides.rubyonrails.org in PDF? [closed]

Answer 1

I'm using rails 4 rc1, so the instructions provided by @ryan-bigg in the accepted answer where not working. I found the solution in the Ruby on Rails Guides Guideline:

git clone git://github.com/rails/rails.git
cd rails/guides
bundle install
bundle exec rake guides:generate:html

and now I have the HTML guides in the rails/guides/output folder.

Answer 2

Updated Answer: As of writing this, 4.0.2 is the most stable version.

git clone git://github.com/rails/rails.git
cd rails
bundle install
bundle exec rake guides:generate

Open rails/guides/output/index.html .

Answer 3

If you are on Linux, you can download the entire contents of guides.rubyonrails.org with this simple single-line command:

wget -r -k -p -L guides.rubyonrails.org/

This will create a new folder guides.rubyonrails.org in your current working directory and then save each page of the site locally. Works perfectly :)

Answer 4

You can't get them in PDF, but you can get them in HTML form by running these commands:

git clone git://github.com/rails/rails.git
cd rails
git checkout origin/3-2-stable -b 3-2-stable
cd railties/guides
ruby rails_guides.rb
cd output
open index.html

When these commands have finished you should be in the railties/guides/output folder which contains the HTML versions of the guides that were just generated with ruby rails_guides.rb, and if you're on a decent operating system then you'll see the homepage in your default browser.
