Usage

Usage of gignore:
  gignore [flags] <template>

Flags:
  -dir string
        directory containing .gitignore templates (default "gitignoreio")
  -l int
        log level (shorthand) (default 3)
  -list
        list available templates
  -loglevel int
        log level (default 3)
  -ls
        list available templates (shorthand)

Example:
  gignore go

Custom Templates

It's possible to add your own custom templates, simply create a directory in internal/registry/templates. You'll need to reinstall the project before you can load the new templates.

Then pass the dir name as a flag, for example:

gignore -dir=custom go

You may set an environment variable GIGNORE_TEMPLATE_DIR to avoid passing the -dir flag each time.

If a template is requested but not found in the custom directory then the gitignoreio registry will act as a fallback.

Logging

The -loglevel flag allows you to control the verbosity of the application's logging output.

Acceptable values for this flag are:

trace
debug
info
warn
error
fatal
panic

For example, to set the log level to debug, you can use:

gignore -loglevel=debug -dir=custom go

The default log level is warn if the flag is not specified.
