Show HN: A simple app to create .gitignore files
- sea-gold 2y agoLooks very similar to Toptal gitignore.io[1][2] [1]: https://www.toptal.com/developers/gitignore/ https://www.toptal.com/developers/gitignore/ [2]: https://github.com/toptal/gitignore.io https://github.com/toptal/gitignore.io
- eg312 2y agoYes, it's inspired by it but I didn't like the fact that all the available options are hidden and I had to search every time I wanted to add something. With my app, you can organize you favorite gitignores as lists.
- pmdfgy 2y agoAm I the only one who creates them manually and add an entry only when I see a file that should not be committed when I "git status" ? I mean, .gitignore is a simple text file, editable from any tool. Why would anyone bother exporting such a file in JSON to then add it as a text file to a repository ? I'm sorry, but I don't see any actual usage for this. There is no point in having a bloated .gitignore with things you don't even use.

- Something1234 2y agoI have a shell function that does a similar thing. I just never got used to using it actively. Looks like your app is pretty’s cool https://www.henryschmale.org/2018/05/23/add-gitignore.html https://www.henryschmale.org/2018/05/23/add-gitignore.html
