A tiny, developer-focused gem to help you find where your Rails partials are used.

When working on large Rails projects, it's easy to lose track of where a partial is rendered throughout the codebase. partial_inspector scans your project and shows exactly which files render a given partial, making it much easier to refactor, test or remove unused partials confidently.
