Small program that generates .gitignore files. The templates are taken from toptal/gitignore. They are all bundled in the compiled binary, so there is no need to keep a folder with the templates, making it easier to install.

Make sure you have the zig compiler installed on your machine. Then:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/dmbfm/gi.git
cd gi
zig build -Drelease-safe --prefix ~/.local

to install gi to ~/.local/bin (or replace this with any other location on your PATH).

Usage: gi [<template_name>...]

Just call gi followed by one ore more template names.

$ gi zig > .gitignore
$ cat .gitignore
# Zig programming language

zig-cache/
zig-out/
build/
build-*/
docgen_tmp/

To list all the avilable templates, call gi --list or gi -l.
