About

gitignore is a utility for you to auto insert .gitignore files depending on the project type you have. It uses the .gitignore files from Github's gitignore repository.

How it works?

add_gitignore first tries guessing your project type if you do not provide it an argument.

• If your project directory is a subdirectory of a .gitignore file then it automatically uses it. (ie: /Users/awesome-dev/projects/scala/akka/ will resolve your project as a Scala project.)

• If your project has an extension that is supported, you will be presented an option or options to choose. (You might have .php files but it can be a Magento project, Drupal project, etc.)
