# gitnore

Are you tired of choosing overly bare .gitignore files from Github's interface? So was I. That's why I made gitnore, a tool to list, view, and download gitignore files from https://github.com/github/gitignore and merge the contents of the files you choose into your gitignore, allowing you to build full featured, rich .gitignore files quickly and easily.

## Installation

### From Source

```

$ go install github.com/kkirsche/gitnore@latest

```

## Usage

### Initialization

If you want to provide your personal access token via the CLI, you can initialize your configuration using:

```

$ gitnore init -t="example-personal-access-token"

```

This though has some security concerns if on a shared machine, and as such you can instead use the following command to be prompted:

```

$ gitnore init

```

### Updating Your Token

You can either manually edit your configuration file, or use the `writeConfig` command.

**WARNING: This will overwrite your configuration file!**

```

$ gitnore writeConfig

```

## List Available Gitignore Files

```

$ gitnore list

```

## Preview Gitignore File Content

```

$ gitnore preview gitignore-file-name

```

for example:

```

$ gitnore preview Go

# Binaries for programs and plugins

*.exe

*.exe~

*.dll

*.so

*.dylib

# Test binary, built with `go test -c`

*.test

# Output of the go coverage tool, specifically when used with LiteIDE

*.out

```

## Add a Gitignore File's Contents to Your Local Gitignore File

```

$ gitnore add gitignore-file-name

```
