gitignore

A python script for creating .gitignore files more easily. It is a convenience wrapper around the api for https://gitignore.io.

Installation

Start by installing the requirements:

$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Using the script as a git extension

Add the following to your .gitconfig (replacing path_to_repository with the location where this project has been put):

ignore = "!gipy() { python3 <path_to_repository>/gitignore.py $@;}; gipy"

Usage

Give wanted templates as a comma-separated list argument:

$ git ignore swift,python,macos,linux > .gitignore

Alternatively, if you do not use the git extension:

$ python3 gitignore.py swift,python,macos,linux > .gitignore
