Ruby in office time reboot

on YouTube ↗41m

" summary

Shows concrete office automation: a small company uses Redmine + Git webhook integration so pushes auto-update and close tickets, lets anyone create repos via the web UI, and mounts a bare repo into containers to share storage. Builds a simple Sinatra endpoint that triggers a Node/headless‑Chrome screenshot job. Generates client-ready .xlsx files with axlsx Excel generation (styles, images, filters) instead of manual CSV work. Recommends the clipboard image paste plugin and reports these tools noticeably speed routine ops.
