legacy-gitignore-in-script

Notice

This script is a legacy script that generates a file named gitignore.in. Currently, a new method is being implemented, so it is not recommended to start using this script.

Problem

The method of generating .gitignore from a template is already widespread. For example, there are the following methods.

• gibo
• gitignore.io
• .gitignore generated when creating a repository on GitHub

However, the .gitignore file generated by these methods is not updated over time. The result of gibo dump Python executed in 2018 and the result of gibo dump Python executed in 2023 will be different. In order for the project to use the latest .gitignore, you need to update .gitignore regularly. However, this is a troublesome task that can cause mistakes.

Solution

gitignore.in is a script to solve it.

1. When you first run this script in a Git repository, it generates a shell script .gitignore.in that lists gibo dump and gi commands.
2. When you run this shell script, .gitignore is generated.
3. Files that you want to ignore for that repository can be appended with echo "...".
4. If the .gitignore.in file already exists, execute the written script to update the .gitignore file.
