Show HN: A simple app to create .gitignore files
github.comLooks very similar to Toptal gitignore.io[1][2]
Yes, 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.
I 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
Am 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.
What does it do that I cant do in a notepad?
