ignorante 0.1.1

CLI to generate .gitignore files by combining templates from github/gitignore, interactively or by name

Ignorante

A CLI for generating .gitignore files by combining templates from the github/gitignore repository.

Usage

Direct mode

Pass one or more template names as arguments. Their .gitignore contents are concatenated and written to stdout:

uvx ignorante python node > .gitignore

Write to a file directly with -o/--output instead of piping stdout:

uvx ignorante python node --output .gitignore

Template names are matched case-insensitively against the filenames in the github/gitignore repository (e.g. python matches Python.gitignore).

Templates in the repository's Global/ and community/ subdirectories are referenced with a matching prefix:

uvx ignorante python global/linux community/golang/hugo

Here, global/linux matches Global/Linux.gitignore and community/golang/hugo matches community/Golang/Hugo.gitignore.

Interactive mode

Run with no arguments to pick templates interactively:

uvx ignorante

This opens a searchable, multi-select prompt listing every available template. Confirm your selection to write the combined .gitignore to stdout (or to a file, if --output is given).
