PyGi is a Python command-line tool that calls the gitignore.io API to generate .gitignore files. Given the names of languages, editors, or operating systems as arguments, it fetches and prints a template of file patterns to ignore in that environment, saving you the trouble of looking up and writing patterns by hand every time you create a new repository. gitignore.io is a web service that combines and provides templates for hundreds of environments.
