git-ignores 0.1.1

.gitignore generator built as a git plugin

git-ignores

Git plugin that generates a .gitignore for your project based on Githubs gitignore templates.

Usage

The plugin provides a new git subcommand ignores. which takes the following options.

• --template - The name of the gitignore template from this repo (i.e Python or Javascript)

• --append - Instead of failing or replacing content, --append will tell the script to simply append the gitignore entries instead of replacing the file wholesale.

• --force - Replace the .gitignore file by force with the new template.

You can also run git-ignores --help to view the help message. Note that git ignores --help returns an error as git tries to load a man page when --help is called. A man-page will be shipped in a future update.

Example

$ git ignores -t Python --force
