The ultimate .gitignore dev tool is here

I just found one of a dev tool called gitignore.io which as it's name suggests, helps generate a gitignore file for our project.

Web

  1. Go to gitignore.io
  2. Fill in the languages, IDE's, OS's you're using
  3. Click Create
  4. Copy Code and paste it into a .gitignore file in your project root

CLI

  1. Go to this link
  2. Follow instructions based on your os and terminal
  3. Go to a project
  4. List possibilities for gitignore
    gi list

This will list all the possibilities for your .gitignore file that you can choose from

  1. Create a .gitignore file Say, I am choosing node, vscode, and macos as my options.
    gi node,vscode,macos >> .gitignore

And voilà, your .gitignore file has been created!
