This gem contains Influitive specific rubocop cops. To use them you can do this in your Gemfile for a project:

group :development to
  gem 'rubocop', require: false
  gem 'rubocop-infl', require: false
end

And add this to your .rubocop.yml for the project:

require: "rubocop-infl"

It is considered good style to limit the length of lines in Ruby source code, and we have found that sometimes there are lines which are a little longer than our conventional limit and breaking up made the code less readable and "greppable". This Cop attempts to help with that situation by allowing a file to have up to a certain percentage of the lines be longer than our "usual" limit.

Metrics/LineLength:
  Enabled: false

Infl/SoftLineLength:
  Enabled: true
  SoftLimit: 80
  HardLimit: 120
  AllowedLongLinePercentage: 2
  IgnoreCopDirectives: true

This would complain about any lines which were longer than 120 characters, and allow up to 2% of lines in a file to be longer than 80 characters before starting to complain about the lines longer that 80 characters.

The IgnoreCopDirectives allows us to ignore # rubocop:enable ... (or disable) lines in the count so that we avoid the situation where adding a # rubocop:disable Infl/SoftLineLength to a file to stop a warning increases the line count so you then start getting an Unnecessary disabling ... message. The name for this option matches the option in recent Metrics/LineLength versions.
