Quickstart

Install

Install generate and generate-gitignore:

$ npm install --global generate generate-gitignore

Generate a .gitignore

Initiate a prompt to generate a .gitignore file in the current working directory:

$ gen gitignore

Customization

Add a custom template with the same as the .gitignore template you want to use to the ~/templates directory on your system, and this generator will automatically use it.

For example, add a Node.gitignore template to override the .gitignore template that's used when $ gen gitignore:node is run.

What is "Generate"?

Generate is a command line tool and developer framework for scaffolding out new GitHub projects using generators and tasks.

Answers to prompts and the user's environment can be used to determine the templates, directories, files and contents to build. Support for gulp, base and assemble plugins, and much more.

Getting started

Install

Installing the CLI

To run the gitignore generator from the command line, you'll need to install Generate globally first. You can do that now with the following command:

$ npm install --global generate

This adds the gen command to your system path, allowing it to be run from any directory.

Install generate-gitignore

Install this module with the following command:

$ npm install --global generate-gitignore

Usage

Run this generator's default task with the following command:

$ gen gitignore

What you should see in the terminal

If completed successfully, you should see both starting and finished events in the terminal, like the following:

[00:44:21] starting ...
...
[00:44:22] finished ✔

If you do not see one or both of those events, please let us know about it.

To see a general help menu and available commands for Generate's CLI, run:
