Create useful .gitignore files for your project
To run gitignore.io from your command line you need an active internet connection an environment function. You need to add a function to your environment that lets you access the gitignore.io API.
#!/bin/bash
$ git config --global alias.test '!gi() { curl -s https://www.gitignore.io/api/$@ ;}; gi'
#!/bin/bash
$ echo "function gi() { curl -s https://www.gitignore.io/api/\$@ ;}" >> ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc
#!/bin/zsh
$ echo "function gi() { curl -s https://www.gitignore.io/api/\$@ ;}" >> ~/.zshrc && source ~/.zshrc
#!/bin/bash
$ echo "function gi() { curl -s https://www.gitignore.io/api/\$@ ;}" >> ~/.bash_profile && source ~/.bash_profile
#!/bin/zsh
$ echo "function gi() { curl -s https://www.gitignore.io/api/\$@ ;}" >> ~/.zshrc && source ~/.zshrc
Create a PowerShell v3 Script
#For PowerShell v3
Function gi {
param(
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
[string[]]$list
)
$params = $list -join ","
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://www.gitignore.io/api/$params" | select -ExpandProperty content | Out-File -FilePath $(Join-Path -path $pwd -ChildPath ".gitignore") -Encoding ascii
}
Create a PowerShell v2 Script
#For PowerShell v2
Function gi {
param(
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
[string[]]$list
)
$params = $list -join ","
$wc = New-Object System.Net.WebClient
$wc.Headers["User-Agent"] = "PowerShell/" + $PSVersionTable["PSVersion"].ToString()
$wc.DownloadFile("https://www.gitignore.io/api/$params", "$PWD\.gitignore")
}
After the function is created, the gi
command will give you command line access to the gitingore.io API.
