Restaurant

What is Restaurant IDE and Why (just another IDE?).

Restaurant software is an Integrated Development Environment for Chef developers.

Objectives

There is no specialized Chef IDE for DevOps for free usage (there is RubyMine with chef plugin, but only for non-commercial usage, or paid). So, Restaurant is a project of free and opensource ready-to-use chef IDE...

...which supports code highlight, autocompletion, inline syntax and style checking (via, rubocop and foodcritic) code expansion (via code snippets), code refactoring, built-in unit (via rspec) and integration tests (via kitchen) launching and interaction. Also, Restaurant supports tools rvm, bundler, berkshelf (via built-in extensions to this tools), git and github integrations, yaml, json and markdown file tools (like, reformatting, visualising etc).
