Ignoring

Tool for managing and creating your .gitignore

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'ignoring'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install ignoring

Usage

This tool is realtively simple to use. You can use either ignoring or gitignore. For these examples, I will be using gitignore.

Creating a gitignore

Creating a .gitignore file in your currrent directory

$ gitignore create

Creating a global gitignore (You will be prompted for a location)

$ gitignore create -g
$ gitignore create --global

Adding to a gitignore

Adding items to the gitignore

$ gitignore add tmp Gemfile.lock
$ gitignore add -g .DS_Store
$ gitignore add --global .DS_Store

Adding languages to the gitignore. (These are retrieved from github's gitignores)

$ gitignore add -l Ruby Rails
$ gitignore add -gl Ruby Rails
$ gitignore add --global --languages Ruby Rails

List languages

List languages from github's gitignores

$ gitignore list

Show gitignores

Print your local gitignore to STDOUT

$ gitignore show

Print your global gitignore to STDOUT

$ gitignore show -g
$ gitignore show --global

Print a specific language to STDOUT

$ gitignore show -l Ruby
$ gitignore show --language Ruby
