This tiny CLI script that generates a .gitignore file for your projects.
You'll want to make sure you have NodeJS installed on your computer. Then, setup is as simple as:
npx add-gitignore
If you've got an older version of node that doesn't yet have npx, here's a more traditional setup:
npm i -g add-gitignoreadd-gitignore macOS Emacs node # or whatever you need
Alternatively, running just add-gitignore gives you a nice multi-select interface from which you can choose what to ignore, and using the --help flag helps you out.

- Sindre Sorhus for the open source tools that this uses (ora, meow).
I hope this makes your life easier.
