A better way to create .gitignore

Are you sick of create a .gitignore file for every each project by adding something like these manually,

• .DS_Store
• /node_modules

Wouldn’t it be good if we can tell that we want .gitignore for node, rails or whatever.

After searching, I found some cool project provide stuffs like what I want, called gitignore that help you to create .gitignore with standard rules, simply in 1 command.

Install

Installation is pretty simple, on macOS you just type:

brew install imwithye/formula/git-ignore

Usage

From now on when we start a new node project, we can just type:

git ignore add osx node

It’ll create .gitignore file with ignore rules for macOS and Node.js.

and this is some of what you’re gonna get on your .gitignore,

*.DS_Store
.AppleDouble
.LSOverride
# Icon must end with two \r
Icon
# Thumbnails
._*
...
# Compiled binary addons (http://nodejs.org/api/addons.html)
build/Release
# Dependency directories
node_modules
jspm_packages
# Optional npm cache directory
.npm

Simple and Awesome right!

Let’s try and star this one as it deserves on Github repository https://github.com/imwithye/gitignore

Hope you guys enjoy and have more fun to start your new project :)
