solidsloth / dotnet-gitignore Goto Github PK

I don't currently have a Mac OS machine to run this on, but would like to verify it.

This would only be useful after #3 is finished. This would allow searching for available templates which would search the GitHub repo.

Example

dotnet gitignore list
# or
dotnet gitignore list M*

Right now the cache is only used for offline use. A new file is downloaded every time if internet is available. It might be more efficient to only download a new version if the cached file is of a certain age. Adding additional commands would make this more useful since you could clean the cache or force update the cache.

It would be nice to add the ability to specify a template, rather than only allowing the VisualStudio.gitignore.

Example:

dotnet gitignore --template "C++"
# or
dotnet gitignore -t "C++.gitignore"

The application data directory is null on linux, so the cache is placed in the current directory.

When file is downloaded from GitHub it contains Linux line-endings LF. On Windows platform it may be more appropriate to convert file to Windows line-ending CRLF. Actually with tool's append option the conversion takes place. Therefore append and not-append options do not have same behavior.

Suggestion
Convert line-endings in downloaded gitignore file to Environment.NewLine. Or simply append lines to empty file.

Optionally disable this behavior with option in case someone uses weird Git line-endings configuration.

Tool should add also .gitattributes file with line-ending configuration to repository. For beginning the template from Visual Studio can be used. I don't know about better source.

try execute:

>>> dotnet gitignore

This is only useful after #3 is complete. This would allow for setting a custom url for a template, or override the default template url. The custom urls would be searched first, and if not found the default url would be used.

Examples

Set Source

dotnet gitignore template set VisualStudio https://urltofile.com/VisualStudio.gitignore
# or 
dotnet gitignore template set VisualStudio.gitignore https://urltofile.com/VisualStudio.gitignore

Remove Source

dotnet gitignore template remove VisualStudio
# or
dotnet gitignore template remove VisualStudio.gitignore

Clear All Sources

dotnet gitignore template clear

It would be nice to be able to clear the local cache or choose not to cache.

Examples

Clean cache:

dotnet cache clean    # removes cached files

Disable cache:

dotnet gitignore --no-cache
