## About
This project is also the canonical repository where [https://www.gitignore.io](https://www.gitignore.io) template list comes from. Here are the reasons behind the need for this repository: https://blog.joeblau.com/gitignore-io-template-fork
## Testing
This testing process ensures that [https://www.gitignore.io](https://www.gitignore.io) template list contains all of the changes from GitHub's template list. The CI system will automatically listen to commits from GitHub and merge any changes.
1. Pre-requisites
```sh
pip install moban
```
2. Sync repository with [GitHub](https://github.com/github/gitignore) and copy templates
```sh
./.github/scripts/sync-github.sh
moban
```
3. Make sure you don't commit files with blank lines or missing EOF line
```sh
./.github/scripts/check-whitespace.sh
```
## Files
There are four file types that gitignore.io recognizes
1. Templates
A `.gitignore` file is the foundation of all templates. Each `.gitignore` file contains gitignore information related to the title of the file. For example, `Go.gitignore` contains a gitignore template that is used when creating a project using [the Go programming language](https://golang.org).
2. Patch
A `.patch` is a file to extend the functionality of a template. The source for some of the template files on [toptal/gitignore](https://github.com/toptal/gitignore) come from [github/gitignore](https://github.com/github/gitignore). GitHub maintains strict [contributing guidelines](https://github.com/github/gitignore#contributing-guidelines) and the `.patch` file allows anyone to extend any of the templates to add extra template rules
3. Stack
A `.stack` is a file that allows for the creation of code stacks (LAMP, MEAN, React Native). In today's development environment a `.gitignore` file is usually comprised of multiple technologies. A stack creates an elegant way to keep the stack up to date with child dependencies.
4. Order
The `order` file simply ensure that if certain templates are requested, the order in which the templates are loaded is maintained.
