Gitignored

An Offline-first CLI application that let the developer generate various .gitignore templates

The templates are taken from the web application Gitignored, which is the GUI application of this application. The TUI application is available here

Side note: The GUI application takes the templates from gitignore of Github

Here's what the developers can do with this application

1. View the name of all available templates
2. Search to find out whether a name of a template exists
3. Preview each template(s) searched, it will include the closest template if there's typo in the name searched, i.e JetBrains for jetbrain
4. Generate template(s) to a .gitignore file, will not override current .gitignore, pass --force to forcefully override
5. Generate template(s) to a specified directory, i.e temp/temp1, it will auto generate at as temp/temp1/.gitignore
6. Append template(s) to an existing .gitignore file, it will create one if it does not exist
7. Append template(s) to an existing .gitignore file of a specified directory, again it will create one if it does not exist
8. Update the cache to receive latest templates
9. Uninstall and remove every cache
10. Open home page/website of this application

You don't need to have an internet connection to use it, unless you want to update the cache

Note: gitignored-cli is a work-in-progress library, so expect breaking changes in its API
