Installation

Cargo

Cargo will only pull the kignore command and won't add a subcommand to `git.

$ cargo install kignore

Post install

To get the git ignore subcommand working you will need to have the file git-ignore available on your path, either add it yourself using git-alias/git-ignore as a template or:

git clone https://github.com/kjuulh/gitignore
./scripts/install-git-alias.sh # only tested on mac and linux
