## ✨ Features
* Pulls .gitignore templates from gitignore.io.
* Clean and simple CLI
* Allows for the combination of any number of different templates all into one gitignore
* Allows for appending to pre-existing gitignore templates so that custom directories are not overridden.

## 📦 Installation
NOTE: Rust must be installed on your system for this to work. (<a href="https://www.rust-lang.org/learn/get-started">Install Rust</a>)

```bash
cargo install blindfold
```

#### 🏗️ Build from source
```bash
git clone https://github.com/Eoin-McMahon/blindfold.git
cd blindfold
cargo install --path ./
```

This will install the binary and add it to your path. Once installed you can use the tool as shown in the examples below.

## 🔧 Examples of use:
```bash
# generates a single gitignore file for both dart and flutter in ./src/.gitignore
blindfold generate dart flutter -d ./src/
```

```bash
# use the append flag to add to the pre-existing gitignore file (can be shortened to -a)
blindfold generate macos --append
```

```bash
# you can specify a specific directory to store the gitignore file in using the dir argument
blindfold generate rust --dir ./src/
```

```bash
# arguments can also be written in shorthand
blindfold generate rust -d ./src/ -a 
```

```bash
