toptal / gitignore.io Goto Github PK

Not sure if it's being caused by a plugin or something related, but every time I access the site from my normal browser environment, the site is non-responsive and Chrome gives me "Site unreponsive, kill/wait" dialog.

Site works perfectly fine if I try to open using another browser, but not from incognito mode (which I load some plugins with still).

First line of generated text is following line.

# Created by https://www.gitignore.io

But! following line is more better i think

# Created by https://www.gitignore.io/api/intellij,scala

Because we can re-generate same file easily.

fyi:
The code generating first line is here
https://github.com/joeblau/gitignore.io/blob/50a556ebb9301d83ee3ad4dc53cd2e46a14f3a23/controllers/api/index.js#L55

Cheers.

Hi,
Here is a small snippet of zsh function for work with gitignore.io service:

echo "function gi() { curl http://gitignore.io/api/$@ ;}"  >> ~/.zshrc && . ~/.zshrc

As far as I understand, here is small difference b/w bash version - no need to escape $.
Tested with zsh 5.0.2 (x86_64-apple-darwin12.2.0)
Thanks

Just thought you should know! Awesome work, by the way. 👍

Hi,

unfortunately the generated folder 'gen-external-apklibs' is missing for 'Android' as well as 'IntelliJ'

Thanks for your nice project,
Marco

1. On docs: Script for Powershell v2, Powershell v3, alternative for msysgit (for curl.cmd) and gi.cmd are all together and looks like they are all part of the same script.
2. Under the "Global" section, the use of "gig" is recommended for windows. gig is the function name for the Powershell v2 and v3 script, I fail to see "gig" under the msysgit alternative. Is gig meant only if you choose the Powershell scripts and not just about Windows?
3. Following the instructions doesn't make it functional. (Upon investigation, this was a problem with curl itself).

the gi command is currently implemented as:

function gi() {
    curl http://gitignore.io/api/$@
}

which works by invoking it as gi linux,java however it could be reimplemented as:

function gi() (
    IFS=,
    curl http://gitignore.io/api/"$*"
)

that would allow calling it as gi python java which is more natural.

a second improvement would be to implement it like this:

function gi() (
    gi_args=()
    for arg; do
        if [[ $arg = -- ]]; then
            curl_args=("${gi_args[@]}")
            gi_args=()
        else
            gi_args+=("$arg")
        fi
    done
    IFS=,
    curl "${curl_args[@]}" http://gitignore.io/api/"${gi_args[*]}"
)

this allows invocations as the previous but also permits passing arguments to curl like: gi --proxy somewhere:8080 -- linux python

also notice the keyword function isn't strictly necessary if you write gi() as the definition.

I use xcode ide,when i use gitignore.io to generate ignore file,same workspace configuration file which i don't need also add to my repository,so is gitignore.io's api support xcode workspace configuration?

Thanks for awesome website!

Don't know if this is intentionally or not, but gitignore does not truncate duplicated records. For example, i'm coming from iOS development world, and i need gitignore for XCode, Objective-C and Swift. But requesting all three gives me almost identical three paragraphs of ignores.

https://www.gitignore.io/api/objective-c,swift,xcode

It would be nice, if all duplicated records would be truncated.

My gi function (I'm using the git config version) hasn't been functioning lately so I investigated a bit further as to why.

Doing this curl -L https://www.gitignore.io/api ( or any argument after e.g.: curl -L https://www.gitignore.io/api/list )

Results in this error:
curl: (35) error:14077410:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:sslv3 alert handshake failure

I'm running OSX 10.8.5 and bash for my Terminal
Would anyone know how to alleviate this?

The existing yii 'template' can't used for the new 2.0 version of yii, for example it ignores the asset folder instead of webroot/asset.

# Assets and user uploads
/web/bundles/
/web/uploads/
/web/css/
/web/js/

I have added two last ignore directory which is generated by assetic generally and it is bundle with Symfony2 standered bundle.

Shouldn’t you include github/gitignore repo as a submodule to benefit from their files ?

It keeps outputs following:

gitignore.io help:
list - lists the operating systems, programming languages and IDE input types
:types: - creates .gitignore files for types of operating systems, programming languages or IDEs

System: OS X Mavericks
I have saved gi command in .zshrc via:
echo "function gi() { curl -s https://www.gitignore.io/api/${(j:,:)@} ;}" >> ~/.zshrc && source ~/.zshrc

Hej,

I just found this project and while reading the docs on my machine (MacBook Pro 13" Retina) some commands exceed the horizontal width of my screen.

Currently there is no possibility to scroll to the right to get the rest of the command.

You can highlight the beginning and alt + arrow-right to the end, but then you'll end up with breaking the whole functionality of the page as you can't "scroll back".

Couldn't this be done by an overflow in CSS?

Best,
zcei

When you add a new gitignore template, the suggestions in the web aren't updated.

I think these two folders should be added to the Laravel default as they are populated by composer install and npm install respectively
/vendor
/node_modules

It'd be great if https://github.com/github/gitignore was identified as one of the sources of .gitigore files.

At the moment, when you invoke gi list the output is not alphabetically sorted, it seems rather random. Example:

[...],webstorm,xamarinstudio,xcode,basercms,ph7cms,actionscript,[...]

Please sort the output of gi listalphabetically so it is more readable.

https://github.com/github/gitignore

http://gitignore.io responds "Heroku | No such app".

The current example for setting up a Git alias names the alias test, which is completely unhelpful. Essentially, running git test java ends up being the same as gi java from any of the other examples. Personally, I ended up naming mine ignore, since gi seems redundant when you're already using a git command.

$ git config --global alias.ignore '!gi() { curl -s https://www.gitignore.io/api/$@ ;}; gi'

This might already be known, but I thought I would mention if it hasn't

On the page http://www.gitignore.io/cli the PowerShell commands contain some invalid characters.

Specifically you can't set a variable with a \ in front of the =. ie: = will throw an error.

Both functions should be change to the following:

function gi {
  param(
    [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
    [string[]] $list
  )

  $params = $list -join ","
  Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "http://www.gitignore.io/api/$params" | select -ExpandProperty content | Out-File -FilePath $(Join-Path -Path $pwd -ChildPath ".gitignore") -Encoding ascii
}


function gi {
  param(
    [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
    [string[]]$list
  )

  $params = $list -join ","
  $wc = New-Object System.Net.WebClient
  $wc.Headers["User-Agent"] = "PowerShell/" + $PSVersionTable["PSVersion"].ToString()
  $wc.DownloadFile("http://www.gitignore.io/api/$params", "$PWD\.gitignore")
}

SSL enable gitignroe.io domain.

Create a .patch data extension to allow patching GitHubs official gitignore templates before GitHub updates them.

Eclipse.patch

.classpath
.projetc.

Windows.patch

desktop.ini 

I can't find any other issues, and see that the documentation has changed. I just wanted to note that there were issues with this command after you updated the cloudflare to use https.

People may receive the below response resulting in an invalid .gitignore

<html>
<head><title>301 Moved Permanently</title></head>
<body bgcolor="white">
<center><h1>301 Moved Permanently</h1></center>
<hr><center>cloudflare-nginx</center>
</body>
</html>

The way to fix this is to replace the command in your *rc with the correct one from the new documentation.

According to the official intelliJ documentation (https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/entries/23393067), the gitignore generated by gitignore.io is incorrect. It ignores the entire .idea directory, which is the wrong default. To fix this, please change the top of the file to:

 ## Directory-based project format:
 # .idea/

 # User-specific stuff:
 .idea/workspace.xml
 .idea/tasks.xml
 .idea/dictionaries

This tool is good in principle, but it's plagued with bugs that don't allow the system to keep up to date with the latest dependencies.

Looking into migrating to golang.

An entry for composer.lock was introduced to Composer.gitignore in commit ec5d0c0. However, composer.lock should not be ignored by git!

From the Composer documentation:

Commit your application's composer.lock (along with composer.json) into version control.

This is important because the install command checks if a lock file is present, and if it is, it downloads the versions specified there (regardless of what composer.json says).

In other words, the composer.lock file is used to lock the used versions of dependencies. The file should be committed into Git in order to make sure that every developer uses the same versions of dependencies.

Also see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12896780/composer-lock-part-of-the-repository and http://adamcod.es/2013/03/07/composer-install-vs-composer-update.html.

Please revert commit ec5d0c0.

Typically its better to ignore IDE created files in a global gitignore.

Might be worth noting this somehow?

In PowerShell gi is the alias for get-item if someone was to use your PowerShell command they would find that it would not work as expected. I would suggest changing the name to something else. Such as gitignore or giti. If PS naming standards are to be followed I'd suggest Get-GitIgnore (even though that doesn't exactly roll off the tongue).

Nested maven projects need entry:

**/target

Else sub projects targets are not ignored.

so it's better to avoid it...

A pull request I sent to github/gitignore has been merged, updating the .gitignore template for the Symfony2 framework.

Do you update the submodule at a regular interval or only when important changes have been made?

Hello.
gitignore.io works fine.
But I'm afraid we need a module to eliminate the _notes directories that Dreamweaver almays use.

Greetings

I'm on OSX Mavericks, and when I try to use gi from the command line as prescribed in http://www.gitignore.io/cli, this happens:

jackmaney@Jacks-Mac-mini:~$ tail -n 1 .bash_profile
function gi() { curl http://www.gitignore.io/api/\$@ ;}
jackmaney@Jacks-Mac-mini:~$ gi python
# Created by http://www.gitignore.io

#!! ERROR: $@ is undefined. Use list command to see defined gitignore types !!#

However, when I take out the backslash before $@, it seems to work:

jackmaney@Jacks-Mac-mini:~$ function foo() { curl http://www.gitignore.io/api/$@ ;}
jackmaney@Jacks-Mac-mini:~$ foo python
# Created by http://www.gitignore.io

### Python ###
# Byte-compiled / optimized / DLL files
__pycache__/
*.py[cod]

(...etc)

It would seem as though the escaping of $@ is unnecessary, as further confirmed by the following:

jackmaney@Jacks-Mac-mini:~$ function blah() { echo $@ && echo $# ;}
jackmaney@Jacks-Mac-mini:~$ blah one two three
one two three
3
jackmaney@Jacks-Mac-mini:~$ function blah() { echo \$@ && echo $# ;}
jackmaney@Jacks-Mac-mini:~$ blah one two three
$@
3

Just came across this project, and noticed that there wasn't a website link above the fold, under the GitHub repo description in the header.

Otherwise, nice work! I really like your execution on this simple idea.

When attempting to run the PowerShell function to get a gitignore file for Visual Studio I entered "VisualStudio" not thinking twice about it, and was surprised to find this in the .gitignore file

// Created by http://www.gitignore.io
// !! ERROR: VisualStudio is undefined. Use list command to see defined gitignore types !!#

I would suggest one of two fixes for this. Adjust the API to not be case sensitive or have the scripts adjust to automatically convert to lowercase. PowerShell would be this:

$params = $list.ToLower() -join ","

MODX configuration is simple (by default);

/core/cache/*
!/core/cache/.gitkeep

Maybe some more @Mark-H ?

gi() {
  local maxColumns=1
  local calculatedColumns=$(($(echo $COLUMNS | tr -d "\n") / 45))
  local columns=$(($calculatedColumns > $maxColumns ? $calculatedColumns : $maxColumns))
  local maxWidth=120
  local calculatedWidth=$(($(echo $COLUMNS | tr -d "\n") / 1.2))
  local width=$(($calculatedWidth > $maxWidth ? $calculatedWidth : $maxWidth))

  curl -s "http://www.gitignore.io/api/$@" | tr "," "\n" | pr -$columns -t -w$width
}

I know this is not a one-liner but the output is much more readable.

(Tested on ZSH only)

There are at least two files missing in .gitignore template for Eclipse:
.classpath
.project

Or was it supposed to be like this? :)

Hello,

Thank you for the practical tool that is gitignore.io.

I just remarked that in the gitignore file generated for eclipse, these files/directory names are missing: .classpath, .settings and .projetc. These files miss intentionaly or this
is just a forgetting?

Regards,
Aboubakar

@joeblau

I was wondering, instead of printing out the output from gitignore.io/api on the terminal screen, if it could be piped directly into .gitignore

Since, most of the time, .gitignore files are created, once a git repo is initialized !

So, is it fine to change,
from this

function gi() { 
    curl http://gitignore.io/api/\$@ ;
}

to this

function gi() { 
    curl http://gitignore.io/api/\$@ >> .gitingore ;
}

If you think it's fine (and won't throw up error, you can add it to the docs ! :)

Nothing in this folder should be available. Instead, when someone goes to add OSX at least throw a warning and redirect them here.

It's bad practice.

Thank you very much for this great website!

Sometimes it is useful to reorder the tags/searches so that the file generated contains templates in the order which is most convenient.

I noticed you used select2 to implement the search box. It supports drag and drop sorting, which is exactly what I want: http://ivaynberg.github.io/select2/#drag_drop

What do you think?

Currently the website can't load its stylesheet. The request for /css/app.css returns a HTTP 500 error.
Service is still usable but doesn't look nice
