Do you far too often go to www.gitignore.io to quickly copy and paste a few assorted templates that you always use? I do, and decided that I should do something about it! So I spent far more hours making this than I would ever save by simply going to the website.
Make sure you have Rust installed (I recommend installing via
rustup), then run cargo install git-ignore-generator.
You can now quickly list and fetch all the available templates on
www.gitignore.io, all from the comforts of the command line!
To list all the available templates:
sh
$ git ignore list
[
"1c",
"1c-bitrix",
"a-frame",
"actionscript",
"ada",
[...],
"zukencr8000"
]
You can also search for templates:
sh
$ git ignore list rust intellij
[
"intellij",
"intellij+all",
"intellij+iml",
"rust"
]
Once you've found the templates you want to use, simply run:
```sh $ git ignore get rust intellij+all
[..]
*/.rs.bk
```
Finally, if need be, you can always run git ignore help to see more options
--- spoiler alert, there are none.
