Gitignore File Generator

GI Gen is an open source CLI to generate .gitignore files. It is completely cross-platform, and standalone (no dependencies).

You can run this CLI program to create or append a .gitignore template easily.

Usage

Download the file for your platform in the Releases page.

Put it anywhere that you can run an executable from. It is completely portable to any directory, but it is preferable you put it somewhere that is in your PATH.

Just run gi_gen in the directory you wish to add to and follow the prompts.

$ gi_gen

Features

GI Gen does the following things:

  • Discovers any gitignore templates that might be related to your project (optional)
  • Optionally clean up results from any patterns that aren't in your project
  • Writes to .gitignore (if a file already exists, you may append to it instead)
