Examples

# This is how you going to use it probably most of the time
gign rust linux -a # -a short for --append

# It's smart!
# This will expand to python, jetbrains and linux
gign pyton jjetbrainz linus > .gitignore

# Append to the repository root-level .gitignore automatically
gign --append haskell

# Do not automatically resolve unknown templates
gign --append --strict macos
# error: template 'macos' not found, did you mean 'global:macOS'?

# Ignore all javascript related templates
gign $(gign list javascript) node > .gitignore

# Search for template with fzf and use it
gign $(gign list | fzf) > .gitignore

see gign list to show all available templates

Install

Using Cargo

cargo install gign

Custom templates

By default, templates are taken from https://github.com/github/gitignore

To add custom template just create [name].gitignore file inside gign where directory.

Files inside folders will be prefixed with the parent folder name (except for the root templates).

For example, if you have custom.gitignore file inside extras/ folder, you can use it like this:

gign --strict extras:custom

# or
gign extras:custom

# or
gign custom

Location	Strict Name
`custom.gitignore`	`custom`
`extras/custom.gitignore`	`extras:custom`
`extras/misc/custom.gitignore`	`misc:custom`
