Enhancement request: list of languages

[kseistrup]

It would be pretty useful if gitinit had a “-L, --list” switch that listed all recognized languages. Of course I program in a limited set of languages and I will soon know which of those gitinit recognizes. For a new gitinit user, however, a list switch would be helpful.

Cheers (and thanks for a useful program).

Try -

$ sudo pip install --upgrade gitinit
$ gitinit -L

Cool, thanks for being so responsive.

Further enhancement: Alphabetizing the languages and putting one language per output line makes it so much easier to find your favourite language. :)

You know, I just came back home and on the road I was thinking about this particular piece of code. :D Will do this and check. :)

Install the dev version from git and check the -L output.
