# add-gitignore

This tiny CLI script that generates a `.gitignore` file for your projects.

![add-gitignore demo](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TejasQ/add-gitignore/master/demo.gif)

## Usage

You'll want to make sure you have [NodeJS](https://nodejs.org/en/) installed on your computer. Then, setup is as simple as:

* `npx add-gitignore`

If you've got an older version of node that doesn't yet have [`npx`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/npx), here's a more traditional setup:

* `npm i -g add-gitignore`

* `add-gitignore macOS Emacs node # or whatever you need`

Alternatively, running just `add-gitignore` gives you a nice multi-select interface from which you can choose what to ignore, and using the `--help` flag helps you out.
