This was one of the last missing pieces for the Herb v0.8.0 release! 🌿
A way to configure the Herb Tools using a `.herb.yml` configuration file.
It's tightly integrated into the Language Server and the Visual Studio Code extension!

Regarding the recent Ruby Discord drama I've had Molnar blocked on sight across multiple platforms now and nothing of value has been lost.
He's more interested in incendiary politics and starting shit than he is actually talking tech. Block and move on, he's not worth the time.

Awesome energy around the Hanami project right now. Props to Ryan Bigg for breaking down the different parts of us who have severe cases of Rails-brain.

Anyway, I'm happy that the people who disagreed decided to get up and Do Something By Coding. I love to see that and can 100% get behind it 👍
