# gi

Small program that generates .gitignore files. The templates are taken from

[toptal/gitignore](https://github.com/toptal/gitignore). They are all bundled

in the compiled binary, so there is no need to keep a folder with the templates, making it easier to install. 

## Building and installation

Make sure you have the [zig](https://ziglang.org) compiler [installed](https://ziglang.org/download/) on your machine. Then:

```

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/dmbfm/gi.git

cd gi

zig build -Drelease-safe --prefix ~/.local

```

to install `gi` to `~/.local/bin` (or replace this with any other location on your PATH).

## Usage

```

Usage: gi [...]

```

Just call `gi` followed by one ore more template names. 

```

$ gi zig > .gitignore

$ cat .gitignore

# Zig programming language

To list all the avilable templates, call `gi --list` or `gi -l`.
