gitignore-boilerplates - Shell script for cloning GitHub .gitignore templates

GitHub’s .gitignore templates are awesome, but mashing them up into a new project can be a pain. Simon Whitaker has created a handy shell script to make that easier:

gibo Python vim >> .gitignore

This will copy the contents of GitHub’s Python and vim templates to your .gitignore. Brilliant.

The script also lets you list all the templates in the GitHub project:

gibo -l

Update: Lucas let us know about gemignore, his Ruby gem for the same task.
