Advanced Command Line

Here are some advanced command line improvements for gitignore.io

​@git2samus​
this allows invocations as the previous but also permits passing arguments to curl like: gi --proxy somewhere:8080 -- linux python
function gi() (
    gi_args=()
    for arg; do
        if [[ $arg = -- ]]; then
            curl_args=("${gi_args[@]}")
            gi_args=()
        else
            gi_args+=("$arg")
        fi
    done
    IFS=,
    curl "${curl_args[@]}" http://gitignore.io/api/"${gi_args[*]}"
)
​@git2samus​
Adds a check to see if curl or wget is installed.
if hash curl; then
    curl "${curl_args[@]}" http://gitignore.io/api/"${gi_args[*]}"
elif hash wget; then
    wget -O- "${curl_args[@]}" http://gitignore.io/api/"${gi_args[*]}"
else
    echo "please install curl or wget to run this command" >&2
    exit 1
fi
​@GeorgeErickson​
Bash one-liner
function gi { curl http://www.gitignore.io/api/"$(IFS=, ; echo "$*")"; }
​@SantoshSrinivas79​
Create a file for the function using vim ~/.config/fish/functions/gi.fish and enter the below code
function gi
  curl -L -s https://www.gitignore.io/api/$argv;
end
​oh-my-zsh​
Provides completion for zsh
function gi() { curl -sL https://www.gitignore.io/api/$@ ;}
​
_gitignoreio_get_command_list() {
  curl -sL https://www.gitignore.io/api/list | tr "," "\n"
}
​
_gitignoreio () {
  compset -P '*,'
  compadd -S '' `_gitignoreio_get_command_list`
}
​
compdef _gitignoreio gi
​@Phoenix09​
Improved git alias tee to .gitignore and accept multiple parameters
git config --global alias.ignore \
'!gi() { IFS=","; curl -L -s "https://www.gitignore.io/api/$*" | tee .gitignore;}; \
gi'
