gitignore.io is a utility that is designed to help create useful .gitignore files for your project.
The origins of this project stem from me (@joeblau) doing dev-ops work where I constantly needed to create .gitignore templates. My original process was to go to GitHub's official repository, find the template I needed and copy the template down. Being a systems engineer, I wanted a command line tool that I could use automate the process. Also being a fan of Unix's tool philosophy, I wanted it to be a simple tool.
A tool is a simple program, usually designed for a specific purpose, it is sometimes referred to (at least throughout this document) as a command.
And finally I needed something that was centrally accessible so the repository could be updated in one location and everyone would have the benefits. This is how Gitignore.io grew to satisfy these requirements.
