## Quickstart
**Install**
Install [generate](https://github.com/generate/generate) and `generate-gitignore`:
```sh
$ npm install --global generate generate-gitignore
```**Generate a .gitignore**
Initiate a prompt to generate a `.gitignore` file in the current working directory:
```sh
$ gen gitignore
```**Customization**
Add a custom template with the same as the `.gitignore` template you want to use to the `~/templates` directory on your system, and this generator will automatically use it.
For example, add a `Node.gitignore` template to override the `.gitignore` template that's used when `$ gen gitignore:node` is run.
## What is "Generate"?
Generate is a command line tool and developer framework for scaffolding out new GitHub projects using [generators](https://github.com/generate/generate/blob/master/docs/generators.md) and [tasks](https://github.com/generate/generate/blob/master/docs/tasks.md).
Answers to prompts and the user's environment can be used to determine the templates, directories, files and contents to build. Support for [gulp](http://gulpjs.com), [base](https://github.com/node-base/base) and [assemble](https://github.com/assemble/assemble) plugins, and much more.
**For more information**:

### Install
**Installing the CLI**
To run the `gitignore` generator from the command line, you'll need to install [Generate](https://github.com/generate/generate) globally first. You can do that now with the following command:
```sh
$ npm install --global generate
```This adds the `gen` command to your system path, allowing it to be run from any directory.
**Install generate-gitignore**
Install this module with the following command:
```sh
$ npm install --global generate-gitignore
```### Usage
Run this generator's `default` [task](https://github.com/generate/generate/blob/master/docs/tasks.md#default) with the following command:
```sh
$ gen gitignore
```**What you should see in the terminal**
If completed successfully, you should see both `starting` and `finished` events in the terminal, like the following:
```sh
[00:44:21] starting ...
...
[00:44:22] finished ✔
```If you do not see one or both of those events, please [let us know about it](../../issues).
