ignoring v1.0.0

Ignoring

Tool for managing and creating your .gitignore. A node port of my ruby gem ignoring.

Installation

npm 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 templates to the gitignore. (These are retrieved from github's gitignores and custom templates)

$ gitignore add -t Node
$ gitignore add -gt Node
$ gitignore add --global --template Node

List languages

List templats from github's gitignores and your own templates

$ gitignore list

List just github templates

$ gitignore list -g
$ gitignore list --github

List just custom templates

$ gitignore list -c
$ gitignore list --custom

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 -t Node
$ gitignore show --template Node

Custom templates

To create custom templates, make a directory $HOME/.ignoring and create files [TEMPLATE_NAME].gitignore. Anything that looks for templates will pull from here before looking on github so keep that in mind for name conflicts. In the future, I will allow for customizing that directory.
