gixor

An API for managing .gitignore files, and the library behind the gixor command.

It keeps clones of boilerplate repositories such as github/gitignore, finds the boilerplates you name, and builds a .gitignore from them while keeping what you had written yourself.

use gixor::{GixorFactory, Name};

let gixor = GixorFactory::load("testdata/config.json").unwrap();
gixor.prepare(true).unwrap(); // clone or update the repositories, if needed
let names = Name::parse_all(vec!["rust", "macos", "linux", "windows"]);
gixor.dump(names, std::io::stdout(), false).unwrap();

Features

• usegix (default): drive Git through gix, a pure Rust implementation. Nothing has to be installed alongside, and no C library is linked.
• --no-default-features --features local: run the git command instead, which requires git on the PATH.

Install the command

The command lives in a separate crate so that using the library does not pull the command line dependencies in.

cargo install gixor-cli
