Looks very similar to Toptal gitignore.io[1][2]<p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.toptal.com&#x2F;developers&#x2F;gitignore&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.toptal.com&#x2F;developers&#x2F;gitignore&#x2F;</a><p>[2]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;toptal&#x2F;gitignore.io">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;toptal&#x2F;gitignore.io</a>

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<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.henryschmale.org&#x2F;2018&#x2F;05&#x2F;23&#x2F;add-gitignore.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.henryschmale.org&#x2F;2018&#x2F;05&#x2F;23&#x2F;add-gitignore.html</a>

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 &quot;git status&quot; ?<p>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 ?<p>I&#x27;m sorry, but I don&#x27;t see any actual usage for this. There is no point in having a bloated .gitignore with things you don&#x27;t even use.
