gi

gi [-h] [-b] [-p] [-s] [-l] [targets...]

Generates .gitignore content by querying the gitignore.io API. Appends results to the repository’s .gitignore with MD5-based deduplication — patterns already present are not re-appended — or prints to stdout with -s. Supports generic boilerplate and interactive prompt modes.

Arguments:


`-h, --help`	Show help message
`-d, --description`	Show the function description
`-l, --list`	List all supported targets from the API
`-b, --boilerplate`	Append boilerplate from $GITIGNORE_BOILERPLATE
`-p, --prompt`	Prompt for patterns to append
`-s, --stdout`	Print API output to stdout instead of .gitignore
`targets`	Comma- or space-separated list of language/tool names

Returns:


`0`	Patterns appended or printed
`1`	Not in a git repository or API fetch failed
