vcsh: Write a custom `.gitignore` file for a managed repository.
$ vcsh write-gitignore ${repository_name}
try on your machine

Explanation:

The command "vcsh write-gitignore ${repository_name}" is used to create a .gitignore file in the specified repository using the vcsh tool.

  • vcsh: This is a version control system hybrid that allows you to manage multiple repositories with Git while keeping them in separate directories. It helps in organizing and maintaining multiple Git repositories efficiently.

  • write-gitignore: This is a command provided by vcsh for creating a .gitignore file in a repository. The .gitignore file is used to specify the files and directories that should be ignored by Git when tracking changes.

  • ${repository_name}: This is a placeholder for the name of the repository where you want to create the .gitignore file. You should replace ${repository_name} with the actual name of your repository.

To use this command, you need to have vcsh installed on your system.
