Find Ruby engineers and maintainers

The list above ranks the most-starred public Ruby repositories, drawn from the public GitHub graph. Across 7,614 Ruby repositories in the public graph, the maintainers, top contributors, and recurring committers are a powerful signal for where Ruby expertise lives.

Behind every popular Rubyproject is a small group of people who actually shipped it. They’re the Rubyengineers, library authors, and infrastructure builders worth knowing — whether you’re hiring, partnering, or doing technical research.

Refolk turns this list into a search. Ask for “Ruby maintainers hiring”, “contributors to Ruby repos based in Europe”, or “companies whose engineers ship Ruby” and Refolk returns a ranked shortlist with the commits, repos, and profiles that earned each person a spot.

How this list is built

Refolk searched GitHub for public repositories whose primary language is Ruby, ranked them by stargazer count, and kept those with at least 100 stars. The list refreshes once a day.
