ignore

Installation

You can install this utility using pip using the package name ignore-from-github.

pip install ignore-from-github

Usage

ignore allows you to quickly add common sets of file types to your .gitignore file.

    $   ignore python
    $   cat .gitignore

    # Byte-compiled / optimized / DLL files
    __pycache__/
    *.py[cod]
    *$py.class

    # C extensions
    *.so
    .
    .
    .

It pulls the appropriate .gitignore file from https://github.com/github/gitignore, appends to your local .gitignore, and git commits just the .gitignore file.
