$ npm install updater-gitignore
Update a .gitignore file with default patterns.
Update is a new, open-source developer framework for automating updates of any kind to code projects. All actual updating is done plugins called "updaters", like this one.
Updaters can be run from the command line when Update's CLI is installed globally, or they can be used as building blocks for creating other updaters.
For more information:
Most updaters do one specific thing. This updater add a .gitignore file or replaces the .gitignore file in the current working directory using a template defined by you in ~/templates/_gitignore (user home on your system), or the generic template in this project's templates directory.
Install update
If you haven't already installed update globally, you can do that now with the following command:
$ npm install --global update
This adds update to your system path, allowing it to be run from any directory.
Install updater-gitignore
Install this module with the following command:
$ npm install --global updater-gitignore
Make sure your work is committed, then run the updater's default task with the following command:
$ update gitignore
What will happen?
Upon running $ update gitignore command, this updater's default task will be executed, which replaces the .gitignore file in the cwd with the ~/templates/_gitignore template defined by you, or the default templates found in templates/_gitignore in this repository.
(Note that all dotfile templates are prefixed with an underscore to prevent programs from mistaking them as real files)
Visit the documentation for tasks.
