Usage

Create .gitignore files

Create your .gitignore files with init verb

dotignore init <template>

Also, init is a defeault verb and you can omit it

dotignore <template>

When you use init verb be careful, it creates a new or overwrite existing .gitignore file. If you want to just add new template to existing one, add --append or -a option.

dotignore dotnet --append

List available .gitignore templates

List your dotignore files with ls verb

dotignore ls 

Also, ls has -q or --query option for searching your template

dotignore ls -q <template>
