git-ignore 🙈

git-ignore lets you generate .gitignore files for your repositories right from the terminal

Example usage

Installation 🛠

git-ignore is released and maintained via Homebrew. Technically, you can build from source or download the release binaries directly, however we have not had time to add those instructions yet.

Run the following commands to install:

brew tap janniks/git-ignore
brew install git-ignore
Expand for uninstall instructions 

brew untap janniks/git-ignore
brew uninstall git-ignore

Usage 🚀

git-ignore is used to generate new .gitignore files or append content to existing ones.

From now on, you simply run git ignore to launch the interactive CLI, anytime you want to setup or change a .gitignore file.

Why? ⚡️

Every time I start a new project/repository, I need a .gitignore file. And every time I missed something that had to be added later—often after unstashing/reverting, because of those pesky git add -all I love so dearly. Then came gitignore.io and made my life a lot easier. Sadly, not too long ago, Toptal decided to rebrand the site a bit (not too much, but we developers are purists). So, the next time I spun up a new repository, I started procrastinating. I no longer wanted to have to leave the terminal to setup a .gitignore file. And thus git-ignore was born. You can now utilize battle-tested ignore templates right from your terminal.

How? 💭

git-ignore is added as an external executable for git. Basically, if there are executables in your PATH that match git-<command> then they will become available through git as git <command>.

git-ignore uses GitHub and Toptal APIs to fetch the ignore templates.

Misc: Bump deps and change writes! to writesln!

Changes all usage of writes! with newline to writeln!, making the \n redundant. Changes some &Strings to &str since it seemed like we did not need String for what we are doing in git-ginore(seems like ostly like it is used to print things to stdout) Bumped all the different libraries. I was able to build it locally on a Linux machine.
