Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

ignr

Automagically generate a .gitignore file that fits your needs. Thanks to https://gitignore.io

Travis (.org) npm node All Contributors

Usage

To generate a .gitignore file for the current directory, you need to run:

$ npx ignr

And BOOM 🔥. That's it.

How it works

It runs a bunch of checks, for example, the existence of certain files in the current directory, installed programs ..etc to determine what things you might need to ignore. Then it simply fetches the necessary data from https://gitignore.io.

Supported templates

Currently we can detect and generate a .gitignore file for the following templates:

  • Golang
  • Linux
  • macOS
  • Node.js
  • Vim
  • Visual Studio Code
  • Windows
  • What is missing? see here

Contributions are welcome ❤️

Contributors

Thanks goes to these wonderful people (emoji key):

This project follows the all-contributors specification. Contributions of any kind welcome!

FAQ

What about handy-gi

Well, I've created that package a few years ago, but couldn't really keep it updated since it doesn't fetch the gitignore templates dynamically but rather uses a local copy, which doesn't make sense. I didn't know that gitignore.io has a API back then. So, this package basically replaces handy-gi and handy-gi-cli. Also, I think the ignr name is cooler ;)
