ZSH plugin for creating .gitignore files.

Installation

Antigen

Oh My Zsh

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/voronkovich/gitignore.plugin.zsh ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins/gitingore

Edit .zshrc to enable the plugin:

plugins=(... gitignore)

Manual

Clone this repo:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/voronkovich/gitignore.plugin.zsh path/to/repo

And add this into your .zshrc:

source path/to/repo/gitignore.plugin.zsh

Usage

# Write templates to the standard output
gi TEMPLATE 

# Write templates to the local .gitignore file
gii TEMPLATE 

# Open .gitignore file in editor ($EDITOR)
gie

Example:

gi vim eclipse symfony

Global gitignore

The plugin also supports global gitignore files. To use global gitignore file instead of local one add --global flag to any command:

# Output content of the global gitignore file
gi -g

# Write templates to the global gitignore file
gii -g TEMPLATE 

# Open global gitignore file in editor ($EDITOR)
gie -g

Custom templates

If you want to override an existing template or add your own custom one, you can use an environment variable ZSH_PLUGIN_GITIGNORE_TEMPLATE_PATHS (it behaves like the $PATH variable):

export ZSH_PLUGIN_GITIGNORE_TEMPLATE_PATHS="${HOME}/.gitignore_teplates:${ZSH_PLUGIN_GITIGNORE_TEMPLATE_PATHS}:/etc/global_gitignore"

Updating templates

Every day the Travis CI runs a job (see tools/update-templates) that updates a submodule with templates and commits the changes. So, templates are always up to date. You should just use antigen update.
