dotignore's Introduction

dotignore

dotignore is a CLI tool for generating .gitignore files.

Installation

Linux

wget https://github.com/bariscanyilmaz/dotignore/releases/download/[version]/dotignore-[version]-linux-x64.tar.gz

sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/dotignore && sudo tar -C /usr/local/dotignore -xzf dotignore-[version]-linux-x64.tar.gz

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/dotignore

Usage

Create .gitignore files

Create your .gitignore files with init verb

dotignore init <template>

Also, init is a defeault verb and you can omit it

dotignore <template>

When you use init verb be careful, it creates a new or overwrite existing .gitignore file. If you want to just add new template to existing one, add --append or -a option.

dotignore dotnet --append

List available .gitignore templates

List your dotignore files with ls verb

dotignore ls

Also, ls has -q or --query option for searching your template

dotignore ls -q <template>

Register dotignore to winget-pkgs

Problem

When I type dotignore init c, it creates C# template but I want C template.

What cause this

Dotignore finds the first template which contains the parameter.

Solution or Suggestion

Templates should be ordered by their parameter consistency rate.
Length of contained parameter in template name / length of tempalte name

when you run dotignore, if .gitignore file doesn't exist it creates a new file, if it does it overwrite previous file. So adding append option like --apppend or -a will prevent overwriting to existing file.
