Ruler is designed with a unique global configuration mechanism that supports developers in reusing a uniform coding specification across projects. This functionality is accomplished by storing the code in the$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/rulerDirectory (default)~/.config/ruler) of the global rules file implementation.
It works:
- Prioritize the items to find the
.ruler/Catalogs as a source of rules - Automatically fallback to global configuration when the project has no rule file
- creatable

This design is particularly suitable for developers who need to maintain multiple projects at the same time, both to maintain the individual configuration of each project, but also to ensure that the underlying coding style is consistent. According to statistics, the use of global configuration can save about 60% of repetitive rule maintenance time.
