Since we're mainly coding in Ruby, we can use common linters such as Rubocop in the Ruby world. However, Rubocop, is targeted at software development by default and is not really optimized for Chef cookbooks development. So, Chef adapted their own version of Rubocop, named Cookstyle. In the meantime, the Foodcritic tool used in conjunction with rules checks our code for a set of commonly accepted good practices by the community. We'll walk through those tools to end up with a much better and cleaner code.
