Usage

Usage:
  gignore [flags]
  gignore [command]

Available Commands:
  completion  Generate the autocompletion script for the specified shell
  create      Create a new .gitignore file
  help        Help about any command
  list        List all .gitignore files in the root template repository

Flags:
  -h, --help              help for gignore
  -l, --loglevel string   Log level (trace, debug, info, warn, error, fatal, panic) (default "warn")
  -r, --root string       Root directory to search for .gitignore files (default "gitignoreio")

Use "gignore [command] --help" for more information about a command.

For example:

gignore create 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 -root=custom create go

You may set an environment variable GIGNORE_TEMPLATE_ROOT to avoid passing the -root 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 create python

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