Write-Gig

Write (or overwrite) .gitignore files using existing .gitignore templates from the github/gitignore repo.

Parameters

-Template (-t) : string

Define the .gitignore template you want to use.

  • There are lots of templates for the majority of languages on the github/gitignore repo. C++, Java, Python, R, and so on.
  • If it's not in their repo, then you're out of luck. But you could always submit your own!

Examples

Example 1: Create .gitnore for a python project

Write-Gig Python

Notes

If you already have a .gitignore in your current directory, you will be prompted to confirm that you intend to overwrite the existing .gitignore.

There's already a .gitingore file in this directory 
Do you want overwrite it? (y/n):

If you confirm with "y" you will see this confirmation message

".gitignore file composed for <TemplateName>"

If you choose not to overwrite your file you will see this message

Stopping process. 
No changes to .gitignore were made

If there was an issue getting an API response you will see this message

API request failed with error code <API Response Code>
Please check the template name. (It's case sensitive)

If this happens, ensure your spelling matches excatly the template name in the github/gitignore repo. If it does match, and errors are still being returned, open an issue or submit a PR.
