add-gitignore

This tiny CLI script that generates a .gitignore file for your projects.

Usage

You'll want to make sure you have NodeJS installed on your computer. Then, setup is as simple as:

• npx add-gitignore

If you've got an older version of node that doesn't yet have npx, here's a more traditional setup:

• npm i -g add-gitignore
• add-gitignore macOS Emacs node # or whatever you need

Alternatively, running just add-gitignore gives you a nice multi-select interface from which you can choose what to ignore, and using the --help flag helps you out.

Special Thanks

• Joe Blau for gitignore.io.
• Fabien Bernard for the suggestion of a tool like this.
• Sindre Sorhus for the open source tools that this uses (ora, meow).

I hope this makes your life easier.

Made with ❤️.
