Forgitter is a .gitignore generator. It is based on the ignorefiles found at https://github.com/github/gitignore.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'forgitter'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install forgitter
To generate a .gitignore, run:
forgitter TAG1 [TAG2 ...]
Where TAG1, TAG2, etc. are tags that correspond to .gitignore files, e.g.,
$ forgitter vim # github/Global/vim.gitignore [._]*.s[a-w][a-z] [._]s[a-w][a-z] *.un~ Session.vim .netrwhist *~
By default, this will output to the standard output stream. You can redirect this to a file using one of the following:
forgitter TAG1 [TAG2 ...] > .gitignore # overwrite
forgitter TAG1 [TAG2 ...] >> .gitignore # append
To see a list of ignorefiles that match specific tags, run:
forgitter -l TAG1 [TAG2 ...]
$ forgitter -l vagrant custom vagrant extras custom/vagrant/Extras.gitignore custom vagrant vagrant custom/vagrant/Vagrant.gitignore github global vagrant github/Global/Vagrant.gitignore
Running forgitter -l without arguments will list all available
ignorefiles.
This gem depends on the https://github.com/github/gitignore repository as a
submodule. After cloning this repository, run the following to retrieve the
*.gitignore files which will be cloned into data/:
git submodule init && git submodule update
*.gitignore files placed directly under data/ will be ignored due to tag
ambiguity.
