SKILL-015: Generate .gitignore

Overview

Ensures the workspace has a proper .gitignore file by fetching industry-standard templates (e.g., Python, Node, VisualStudio, macOS) and merging them. Prevents binary artifacts and secrets from being committed.

Trigger Phrases

  • create gitignore
  • update gitignore
  • ignore build files
  • add python to gitignore

Inputs

Parameter Type Required Default Description
--workspace-path string No Current directory Root to check
--templates string[] Yes - List of templates (e.g. Python, Node, VisualStudio)
--append switch No false If file exists, append instead of overwrite

Outputs

1. .gitignore

The resulting ignore file at the workspace root.

Implementation

Script: generate_gitignore.ps1

  1. Validates input templates against GitHub/gitignore API or raw URLs.
  2. Fetches content for each requested template.
  3. Merges them.
  4. Writes to .gitignore.

Use Cases

  1. New Project: Setting up a fresh repo for a combined C#/React project (VisualStudio + Node).
  2. Maintenance: Realizing your Python project is committing __pycache__ and fixing it instantly.
