.gitignore Generator CLI

A simple command-line interface (CLI) tool to generate .gitignore files.

Overview

This tool allows you to generate .gitignore files by specifying templates. It fetches the templates from a predefined API and combines them into a single .gitignore file.

Installation

To install this CLI tool, clone the repository and build the project using Cargo:

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/gitignore-generator.git
cd gitignore-generator
cargo build --release
cargo install --path .

Usage

The CLI accepts two parameters:

• -t or --template: Specifies the name of the templates to use. Multiple templates can be specified by separating them with commas (e.g., `node,python).

• -f or --filename: Specifies the name of the output file. Defaults to .gitignore` if not provided.

Examples

Generate a .gitignore file for Node.js:

gig -t node

Generate a .gitignore file for both Node.js and Python:

gig -t node,python

Generate a .gitignore file for Node.js and save it to custom.gitignore:

gig -t node -f custom.gitignore
