Install Command Line

To run gitignore.io from your command line you need an active internet connection and an environment function. You need to add a function to your environment that lets you access the gitignore.io API.

Git

#!/bin/bash

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

Linux

#!/bin/bash

$ echo "function gi() { curl -L -s https://www.gitignore.io/api/\$@ ;}" >> ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc

#!/bin/zsh

$ echo "function gi() { curl -L -s https://www.gitignore.io/api/\$@ ;}" >> ~/.zshrc && source ~/.zshrc

#!/bin/fish

$ printf "function gi\n\tcurl -L -s https://www.gitignore.io/api/\$argv\nend\n" > ~/.config/fish/functions/gi.fish

macOS

#!/bin/bash

$ echo "function gi() { curl -L -s https://www.gitignore.io/api/\$@ ;}" >> ~/.bash_profile && source ~/.bash_profile

#!/bin/zsh

$ echo "function gi() { curl -L -s https://www.gitignore.io/api/\$@ ;}" >> ~/.zshrc && source ~/.zshrc

#!/bin/fish

$ printf "function gi\n\tcurl -L -s https://www.gitignore.io/api/\$argv\nend\n" > ~/.config/fish/functions/gi.fish

Windows

Create a PowerShell v3 Script

#For PowerShell v3
Function gig {
  param(
    [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
    [string[]]$list
  )
  $params = $list -join ","
  Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://www.gitignore.io/api/$params" | select -ExpandProperty content | Out-File -FilePath $(Join-Path -path $pwd -ChildPath ".gitignore") -Encoding ascii
}

Create a PowerShell v2 Script

#For PowerShell v2
Function gig {
  param(
    [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
    [string[]]$list
  )
  $params = $list -join ","
  $wc = New-Object System.Net.WebClient
  $wc.Headers["User-Agent"] = "PowerShell/" + $PSVersionTable["PSVersion"].ToString()
  $wc.DownloadFile("https://www.gitignore.io/api/$params", "$PWD\.gitignore")
}

Create a Command Line Prompt Script If you have installed msysgit), create gi.cmd with content below. And copy it to C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\gi.cmd, assuming msysgit was installed to c:\Program Files\Git. Make sure that C:\Program Files\Git\cmd is added to the environment variable path.

@rem Do not use "echo off" to not affect any child calls.
@setlocal

@rem Get the abolute path to the parent directory, which is assumed to be the
@rem Git installation root.
@for /F "delims=" %%I in ("%~dp0..") do @set git_install_root=%%~fI
@set PATH=%git_install_root%\bin;%git_install_root%\mingw\bin;%PATH%

@if not exist "%HOME%" @set HOME=%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%
@if not exist "%HOME%" @set HOME=%USERPROFILE%

@curl.exe -L -s https://www.gitignore.io/api/%*
