gogi: A simple .gitignore template manager

Installation

Deploy Gogi with the following command:

go install github.com/SQUASHD/gogi@latest

Configuration

Initialize Gogi to set up a dedicated template directory within your .config folder:

gogi init

Template Management

Craft a new, blank template

gogi create <template-name> [-e open in editor] [-b set as base]

Specify your preferred editor for template customization:

gogi editor <editor-name>

Modify an existing template to suit your project needs:

gogi edit <template-name>

Establish a default template for new projects:

gogi base <template-name>

Delete an outdated template

gogi delete <template-name> [--force will override the are you sure prompt]

Generate .gitignore

Generate a .gitignore file using your base template directly in your current project directory:

gogi

If you need a different template you can use gogi generate to generate a new .gitignore file

gogi generate <template-name> [--force will overwrite the current .gitignore]

Or append the current .gitignore with a different template

gogi append <template-name>
