{"library":"gitignore","type":"library","category":null,"description":"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.","language":"javascript","status":"maintenance","version":"0.7.0","tags":["javascript"],"last_verified":"Sun Jun 07","install":[{"cmd":"npm install gitignore","imports":["const { getTypes } = require('gitignore');","const { writeFile } = require('gitignore');","const gitignore = require('gitignore');"]},{"cmd":"yarn add gitignore","imports":[]},{"cmd":"pnpm add gitignore","imports":[]}],"homepage":"https://github.com/msfeldstein/gitignore#readme","github":"https://github.com/msfeldstein/gitignore","docs":null,"changelog":null,"pypi":null,"npm":"gitignore","openapi_spec":null,"status_page":null,"smithery":null,"compatibility":null}
