We use the method of generating functions to find the limit of a q-continued fraction, with 4 parameters, as a ratio of certain q-series. We then use this result to give new proofs of several known continued fraction identities, including Ramanujan's continued fraction expansions for (q2; q3)∞/(q; q3)∞and [Formula: see text]. In addition, we give a new proof of the famous Rogers–Ramanujan identities. We also use our main result to derive two generalizations of another continued fraction due to Ramanujan.
