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://www.henryschmale.org/2018/05/23/add-gitignore.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.henryschmale.org/2018/05/23/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 "git status" ?<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'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.
