A convenient tool for creating .gitignore templates tailored to your operating system, programming language, or IDE. It provides a user-friendly interface and a command line interface for generating .gitignore templates for Git repositories
Up-to-date templates. This project sources its .gitignore templates directly from Github, ensuring that users have access to the latest and most up-to-date versions of the templates
Support for Terminal. Terminal or Command-Line Interface (CLI) is a fundamental tool for developers, and it is widely regarded as a universal tool that enables developers to efficiently execute tasks across various platforms. While searching for templates through a web browser can be a tedious process, using CLI offers a more streamlined and productive option. This is because it enables developers to quickly access and manipulate the destination of selected .gitignore templates, with the added advantage of maintaining consistent commands across different environments
Templates load offline. In addition to the benefits offered by Progressive Web Apps (PWAs), there are certain circumstances where a strong and dependable internet connection may not be available, particularly in rural areas with poor connectivity. This can create issues for users who need to create new projects or update .gitignore files. The unavailability of online templates can significantly slow down their work. Nevertheless, with the capability to access templates locally, users can continue their work uninterrupted regardless of the circumstances
Lag of support for editors/IDEs. As of now, the reason for not adding another interface for various editors/IDEs is because it can be cumbersome and prone to bugs, as it requires maintaining multiple repositories. Providing support for terminal is a better option as it is faster and more efficient to use the terminal for manipulating the selected .gitignore templates than to use editor/IDE specific tools
