Peacock

Peacock is a small tool to easily manage your .gitignore written in ruby.

It lets you ignore and extract files and directories using .gitignore in your current git repository.

Note that while ignoring files and directories peacock will perform safety commits to make sure your work is not lost. It will commit all your uncommited work (if there is any) before and after adding files to .gitignore.

While extracting, peacock leaves everything untouched.

Note that at the moment you can't combine options with one hyphen (e.g.: -ev for --extract and --verbose) but you have to pass them separated (e.g.: -e -v)

Installation

Install by executing:

$ gem install peacock
