gitignore

CLI tool and Node.js module to automatically fetch .gitignore templates for any project type from GitHub's official gitignore repository. Current stable version is 0.7.0. Release cadence is irregular; last update was in 2019. Key differentiator: provides both a global CLI command and a programmatic API, with support for NPX for one-off invocations. Compared to alternatives (e.g., gitignore.io), it directly pulls from GitHub's authoritative collection with no external API dependency.
