If you're like me, you pretty much Google "gitignore templates" each time you start a new project from scratch. That's at least 15 seconds you'll n...

I made something similar which I am using locally. I called it Gnit, it git init and also ask for the .gitignore folders to add and also select base on language. It is written in python, I can share with anyone tho.
Great, will love to see your code.
Just curious how this differs from the gitignore package that consumes GitHub's awesome gitignore repository.
A collection of useful .gitignore templates
A collection of
.gitignoretemplatesThis is GitHub’s collection of
.gitignorefile templates We use this list to populate the.gitignoretemplate choosers available in the GitHub.com interface when creating new repositories and files.For more information about how
.gitignorefiles work, and how to use them the following resources are a great place to start:Folder structure
We support a collection of templates, organized in this way:
Globalcontains templates for various editors, tools and operating systems that can be used in different situations. It is…Hey, thanks for sharing this package, I did not know of its existance. I did know of Github's list though as I've used it.
At the moment, the only difference is that I prompt the user for a language. Eventually, I'd like to generate the gitignore automatically based on the user's environment.
That would be great adding the .gitignore during scaffolding automatically based on the environment.
Create an alias to Git to write:
... etc. I have an alias
git excludetoo.I am going to definitely check this out for I have been starting a lot more applications using Visual Studio Code and command line and having nice tools to help be just a bit more productive adds up over time to save time.
Cool!
This is nice. Many times in the past I copy-pasted the content of one of the sample gitingore for various programming languages that are maintained on GitHub here github.com/github/gitignore
Looks like you've made a nice time saving tool right there! 😄
I actually just published a similar kind of utility for generating "grepignore" files and some other nice things for searching. I was thinking pretty much the same thing you wrote while I was making it.
I can see the gitignore being pretty useful though, I spent way longer than I should have earlier today trying to figure out the right string to get rid of a bunch of junk from a commit.
Man, you have got a solution to my problem
How does it work? i tried installing it on my machine and i run gitignore but i am getting gitignore command not found
Did you install it globally?
npm i -g gitignore-itYes, I followed the instructions on npm, I am using windows
I had same problem, command not found and I restarted VS Code and my cmd's.
Can I multiple select? Like as Node, VSCode, MacOs... ?
It could be an option in the future, for now it's one
gitignoreat a timeYeah that could be the next step, I could parse the user's package.json (or equivalent file) and generate a gitignore based on that :)
gitignore zsh plugin allows you to specify multiple gitignore:
gi node ruby >> .gitignoregithub.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/...
A service I use often for the same purpose is: gitignore.io/
Use it once to generate a global .gitignore in your home directory with everything related to your local env (OS, IDE) and only add specific rules in your repo can avoid .gitignore file full of cruft.
Super cool.
I was willing to learn about in near future but I came across this.
Will help a lot.
Thanks.
