Gitignore Sync
Generate high-confidence .gitignore rules from real repo signals and gitignore.io, then update safely via a managed block so manual rules stay untouched.
Execution Rule
Use scripts/update_gitignore.py as the only execution path.
Do not fetch from the API directly in ad-hoc commands.
Do not manually compose or rewrite .gitignore when this skill is selected.
Workflow
- Infer requested templates from the user prompt.
- Detect likely templates from repository files and folders.
- Run
scripts/update_gitignore.pywith--prompt-textand/or--services. - Let the script fetch combined template rules from
https://www.toptal.com/developers/gitignore/api/<templates>. - Let the script write or update a managed block in
.gitignore. - Preserve non-managed user sections in
.gitignore.
Run
From the target repository root, run:
python3 <skill-path>/scripts/update_gitignore.py \
--prompt-text "create .gitignore for flutter firebase vscode" \
--repo .
Use explicit templates when the user names exact services:
python3 <skill-path>/scripts/update_gitignore.py \
--services flutter,firebase,visualstudiocode \
--repo .
Notes
- Prefer passing both
--prompt-textand--serviceswhen available. - Keep manual custom rules outside the managed block markers.
- Re-run safely; the script replaces only the managed block.
- Use
--rules-filefor offline/local testing when network access is blocked.
