Overview

Often, you’ll have a class of files that you don’t want Git to automatically add or even show you as being untracked. These are generally automatically generated files such as log files or files produced by your build system. In such cases, you can create a file listing patterns to match them named .gitignore.

Read more about .gitignore files on the manual page.

🙊 All .gitignore templates are from the Github Project: gitignore.

Install

$ npm install init-gitignore

Usage

Eg: macOS

const initGitignore = require('init-gitignore');

initGitignore.macOS();

Result .gitignore

# General
.DS_Store
.AppleDouble
.LSOverride

# Icon must end with two \r
Icon
...

Eg: Node

const initGitignore = require('init-gitignore');

initGitignore.Node();

Result .gitignore

# Logs
logs
*.log
npm-debug.log*
yarn-debug.log*
yarn-error.log*

# Runtime data

*.pid
...
