A simple neovim plugin to generate .gitignore using gitignore.io templates.

• nvim-lua/plenary.nvim is required.

Using vim-plug

Plug 'nvim-lua/plenary.nvim'
Plug 'kalvinpearce/gitignore-gen.nvim'

Using dein

call dein#add('nvim-lua/plenary.nvim')
call dein#add('kalvinpearce/gitignore-gen.nvim')

Using packer.nvim

use {
  'kalvinpearce/gitignore-gen.nvim',
  requires = { {'nvim-lua/plenary.nvim'} }
}

Running :GitignoreGenerate will bring up a series of dialogs to guide you through generating a .gitignore

# vim
nnoremap <leader>gG <cmd>GitignoreGenerate<cr>

-- lua
vim.keymap.set('n', '<leader>gG', require('gitignore-gen').generate)

See :help gitignore-gen.nvim

This plugin is largely inspired by and based on piotrpalarz/vscode-gitignore-generator. Piotrpalarz wrote an amazing plugin that I used to use all the time in vscode. I missed it so much I decided to learn how to make a plugin for neovim just to recreate its functionality.
