Ignore
Adding gitignores is now super simple
A simple commandline tool to pull gitignores from github.com/github/gitignore.
This way all you ever have to do is.
$ git init
$ ignore ruby
$ ignore osx
$ ignore vim
Boom you are ready to go!
With a new git repo and curated gitignores for Ruby, OSX and Vim.
Similar to what you see when you make a new repo through Githubs online interface
See github.com/github/gitignore for a full list of all the supported languages
Why?
Its the easiest way to fetch gitignores
I got irritated making repos then manually fetching gitignores. So I made this.
How to Install?
> gem install ignore
> ignore update
What Does It Do?
1. Add simple gitignores in one line
$ ignore ruby
This is will add github's ruby gitignore to a new or existing .gitignore in your current directory
2. Easy updates to sync with github.com/github/gitignore
ignore update
3. You can add your own gitignores to your ~/.ignores directory
cp .gitignore ~/.ignores/custom.gitignore
(Just make sure the file is in the ~/.ignores folder and ends with .gitignore)
4. Show you contents of a gitignore
ignore show ruby
5. List all the possible gitignores available
ignore list
6. Even comes with zsh autocompletion
just copy the zsh autocomplete function to wherever your autocomplete functions go (it depends on your config)
