Init Repo
Initialize a git repository with a curated .gitignore file.
Arguments
$ARGUMENTS — comma-separated list of gitignore types (e.g. python,node,macos).
These map to entries on the gitignore.io API.
If no arguments are provided, ask the user what types they need.
Steps
1. Pre-flight checks
- Confirm the current directory does NOT already contain a
.git/directory. If it does, stop and inform the user that a git repo already exists. - Confirm the current directory is empty or nearly empty (a few dotfiles are okay). Warn the user if there are existing files that will be committed.
2. Initialize git
Run:
git init
3. Create .gitignore
Create a .gitignore file with the following structure:
Project-specific entries (always included at the top):
# Project-specific
.worktree/
worktree/
.local/
Community entries (fetched from gitignore.io):
Fetch content from:
https://www.toptal.com/developers/gitignore/api/<TYPES>
Where <TYPES> is the value of $ARGUMENTS (e.g. python,node,macos).
Append the fetched content below the project-specific entries, separated by a blank line.
If the fetch fails, warn the user and write only the project-specific entries. Do not fail the entire operation.
4. Stage and commit
git add .gitignore
git commit -m "Initial commit with .gitignore"
5. Report
Tell the user:
- The repo has been initialized
- Which gitignore types were included
- Suggest next steps (e.g.
git remote add origin <url>)
