A command line tool designed to automate the process of creating gitignore files.
If you hate writing gitignores as much as I do, you typically use prewritten gitignore files, either through an IDE plugin or just old-fashioned copy/paste. This tool automates that process in the command line, using Github's gitignore API.
The app is distributed as a dotnet tool, so make sure you have the dotnet CLI installed and use this command to install globally, allowing for use like any other CLI app:
dotnet tool install --global gitignorerer
Once installed, the tool will create or overwrite a .gitignore file in the current directory using list of "ignore files", typically languages as below:
gitignorerer VisualStudio C++
This command will write the ignorefiles for VisualStudio and C++ to the local file.
