The command gibo dump ${boilerplate} >>${-gitignore}
involves using the gibo
(GitHub .gitignore boilerplate) utility to generate contents and append them to a file.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
-
gibo
: Refers to thegibo
utility, which is designed to ease the process of creating.gitignore
files by providing pre-defined boilerplate content. -
dump
: This is a subcommand ofgibo
that generates the desired boilerplate content based on the provided argument${boilerplate}
. -
${boilerplate}
: Represents the specific type of.gitignore
template or boilerplate content. You would replace${boilerplate}
with the name of the template you want to use. For example, if you want to generate a.gitignore
file for a Python project, you would specify${boilerplate}
asPython
. -
>>${-gitignore}
: This uses the>>
redirection operator to append the generated boilerplate content to the file denoted by${-gitignore}
. The${-gitignore}
variable represents the name of the file you want to append the content to. You would replace${-gitignore}
with the actual filename you want to use.
In summary, the command generates boilerplate .gitignore
content using gibo
and appends that generated content to a specified file.
