Worked on the Shopify/shopify_app repository to improve codebase hygiene by removing unused dependencies and streamlining configuration files. Focused on dependency management using Ruby and Ruby on Rails, the work involved eliminating sprockets and active_resource from both the Gemfile.lock and the gemspec, as well as updating the dummy application configuration to drop unnecessary requires. This targeted cleanup reduced the maintenance surface and simplified future upgrades, making the project easier to manage. The changes were consolidated into a single commit, ensuring clear documentation and repository hygiene while setting a foundation for faster bootstrapping and more maintainable ongoing development.
