ignorevscode v1.0.6

Ignore Visual Studio Code (ignorevscode)

A simple Node module that updates a folder's .gitignore file, adding the Visual Studio Code files (.vscode/ and .code-workspace). I created this to make it easier to add those values to a project's .gitignore file.

To install the module, open a terminal window and execute the following command:

npm install -g ignorevscode

to invoke the module, open a terminal window, navigate to a project folder and execute the following command:

ignorevscode

The module will update the console as it works:

File: D:\dev\node\ignorevscode\.gitignore
Status: File exists and is writable
Adding: .code-workspace
Adding: .vscode/
Result:  File saved!

Execution will fail, and the module will exit, if there's no .gitignore file in the current folder. Yes, I know I could create one if its not there already, but then you could end up with a .gitignore file in a folder that isn't a git repository, so I decided to go this route.
