A .gitignore magician in your command line. Joe generates .gitignore files from the command line for you.
- Written in uncomplicated Go (Golang)
- No installation necessary - just use the binary.
- Stupidly easy to use
- Supports all Github-supported
.gitignorefiles - Works on Mac, Linux and (maybe) Windows
- Supports other version control systems (
.hgignore)
After install, make sure to run joe u. This will download all .gitignore files in ~/joe-data/ folder.
joe is available for OSX (macOS), Linux and Windows.
Download the latest binary from the Releases page. It's the easiest way to get started with joe.
Make sure to add the location of the binary to your $PATH.
$ git clone git@github.com:karan/joe.git
$ cd joe/
$ chmod +x tool.sh
$ ./tool.sh buildls | list list all available files
u | update update all available gitignore files
g | generate generate gitignore files
$ joe g java # outputs .gitignore file for java to stdoutTo update your .gitignore files at any time, simply run:
$ joe u$ joe g java > .gitignore # saves a new .gitignore file for java$ joe g java >> .gitignore # appends to an existing .gitignore file$ joe g java,node,osx > .gitignore # saves a new .gitignore file for multiple languagesYou can also use joe to append to a global .gitignore. These can be helpful when you want to ignore files generated by an IDE, OS, or otherwise.
$ git config --global core.excludesfile ~/.gitignore # Optional if you have not yet created a global .gitignore
$ joe g OSX,SublimeText >> ~/.gitignore$ joe ls # OR `joe list`Output:
