gitignore

=========

What is .gitignore?

-----------

If you create a file in your repository named .gitignore, Git uses it to 

determine which files and directories to ignore, before you make a commit.

Purpose

-------

Quickly grabbing a boilerplate .gitignore for your project.

Usage

-----

The two fastest ways to utilize this repo are by using 

[curl](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CURL) and

[wget](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wget).

The shortened url [git.io/ignore](git.io/ignore) links to the raw contents of 

[gitignore/gitignore](https://github.com/jekrb/gitignore/blob/master/gitignore).

Now `cd` into your project directory and follow one of the commands below.

(ignore the `$` symbol)

### Using curl

    $ curl -L git.io/ignore -o .gitignore

### Using wget

    $ wget git.io/ignore -O .gitignore

Why?

----

Let progammers do a mundane task enough times and they will find a way to 

automate it.
