Basic gitignore template

There are lots of good gitignore templates, but they're often just for one language. That's not great if you have a project that incorporates multiple languages and has a lot of custom files. It would be much better if you could start with a generic gitignore and build on from there!

This repository contains:

• The .gitignore template
• And the ginit utility written in Rust that generates the template with a single command

Usage

The easiest way to use this template is to use the provided ginit generator. This creates a .gitignore in the current folder. E.g. like this:

ginit

To download ginit, you can either download it from the releases or build it (assuming you have the Rust build tools):

cd ginit && cargo build --release && cp ./target/release/ginit ~/bin # or whatever location your global execs are in

However, if you would like to manually copy and paste the file, no problem - you can find it here as well.
