Gi

CLI util, to create a .gitignore file that has been seeded by gitignore.io

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

install it with ruby-gems:

$ gem install gi-cli

Usage

list

for a list of seeds run $ gi list, on a side note if you are searching for a specific one you can simply use grep or ack and pipe in your search term gi list | ack "node"

seed

the default command is the one that appends the .gitignore file, it works in a two step process. upon calling the command $ gi <args> OR $ gi seed <args>.

  1. $ gi osx,ruby,node,emacs
  2. $ gi seed osx,ruby,node,emacs

--dry

attaching the --dry flag to the initial seed command will simply print out the (would be) contents of the .gitignore to the terminal and not actually create a file on the hard drive (really this only exists for testing but hey, someone might use it)

--overwrite

attaching the --overwrite flag to seed will overwrite the existing .gitignore with the seeded one.
