# gibo: fast access to .gitignore boilerplates
**gibo** (short for .gitignore boilerplates) is a command-line tool to help you easily access .gitignore boilerplates from [github.com/github/gitignore](https://github.com/github/gitignore).
## Typical usage
```console
$ gibo dump Swift Xcode >> .gitignore
```
For additional usage instructions, run `gibo help`.
## Installation
### Using Homebrew
```sh
brew install gibo
```
Or use the tap, which may be slightly more up-to-date:
```sh
brew install simonwhitaker/tap/gibo
```
### Using Scoop
On Windows, you can install gibo using [Scoop](https://scoop.sh/#/apps?q=gibo):
```sh
scoop bucket add main
scoop install main/gibo
```
### Using Chocolatey
```
choco install gibo
```
### Using the Go toolchain
```sh
go install github.com/simonwhitaker/gibo@latest
```
### Building from source
Clone the repo, then:
```sh
cd gibo
go install .
```
### Downloading a binary
Download the latest [release](https://github.com/simonwhitaker/gibo/releases) for your platform, then put `gibo` (or `gibo.exe`) somewhere on your path.
### Installation on Docker
```sh
docker run --rm simonwhitaker/gibo
```
## Tab completion in bash, zsh, fish and Powershell
See the instructions at:
```
gibo completion
```
## Use gibo to generate .hgignore files
The `glob` .hgignore syntax for Mercurial is compatible with .gitignore syntax. This means that you can use gibo to generate .hgignore files, as long as the .hgignore files use the `glob` syntax:
```sh
echo 'syntax: glob' > .hgignore
gibo dump Python >> .hgignore
```
