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
1
function gi() (
2
    gi_args=()
3
    for arg; do
4
        if [[ $arg = -- ]]; then
5
            curl_args=("${gi_args[@]}")
6
            gi_args=()
7
        else
8
            gi_args+=("$arg")
9
        fi
10
    done
11
    IFS=,
12
    curl "${curl_args[@]}" https://www.toptal.com/developers/gitignore/api/"${gi_args[*]}"
13
)

Adds a check to see if curl or wget is installed.
1
if hash curl; then
2
    curl "${curl_args[@]}" https://www.toptal.com/developers/gitignore/api/"${gi_args[*]}"
3
elif hash wget; then
4
    wget -O- "${curl_args[@]}" https://www.toptal.com/developers/gitignore/api/"${gi_args[*]}"
5
else
6
    echo "please install curl or wget to run this command" >&2
7
    exit 1
