Overview

innit is a blazingly fast 🚀 commandline utility for initialising git repositories quickly and easily. I created this to solve the common problem of having to generate a .gitignore, README.md & LICENSE for most of the projects I make - this tool makes it trivial to set up that boilerplate for a new project.

Option Type Default
