Pine

Hassle free .gitignore file manager. Pine uses GitHub's existing gitignore repository to manage your .gitignore files, allowing fast and easy .gitignore management.

Installation

Before installing ensure that your system has git, awk and bash 4.0+ installed.

Run the following command in your terminal to download and install pine.

If you are using bash:

git clone https://github.com/suyashmahar/pine.git "$HOME/pine" && echo 'export PATH="$HOME/pine:$PATH"' >> "$HOME/.bashrc" && source "$HOME/.bashrc"

If you are using zsh:

git clone https://github.com/suyashmahar/pine.git "$HOME/pine" && echo 'export PATH="$HOME/pine:$PATH"' >> "$HOME/.zshrc" && source "$HOME/.zshrc"

Usage

Pine uses extremely simple CLI for managing .gitignore files, to add a new configuration to your .gitignore file just pass the name of configuration as a parameter:

[my-git-rep] $ pine c java kotlin clojure # Install configuration for 'c', 'java', 'kotlin' and 'clojure' 

This would update the .gitignore file present in the same directory with new configurations.

To remove an existing configuration from .gitignore use -r or --remove switch:

[my-git-rep] $ pine -r c java # Removes configuration for 'c' and 'java' from .gitignore file

Pine uses .gitignore files provided by GitHub, these files are often updated to fix bugs or add a new pattern. To update your local copy of gitignore files use -u or --update switch:

[my-git-rep] $ pine -u # Updates local repository of GitHub's gitignore files

For complete help use pine --help.
