gitignore turns into .npmignore after running grunt-init

[redonkulus]

I have a template that contains a .gitignore in the root/ folder. After I run the grunt-init scaffolding, this file turns into a .npmignore file. Is this done intentionally? Possibly a way to turn this off?

Otherwise, I guess I will have to run script to rename it back.

Hello, are you there? Same for me.

Which template are you guys using @Herby & @redonkulus?

I have already found the reason. I (and @redonkulus, probably) use our own templates and publish them in npm. npm publish rewrites all .gitignore files into .npmignore files. When getting the package back from npm. the file is thus named .npmignore..

So, this should probably be in the entry in some FAQ: If you have template with .gitignore and upload it to npm, rename the file to, say, gitgnore-file and add a rule to rename.json.
