This means that you can use gibo to generate .hgignore files, as long as the .hgignore files use the `glob` syntax:\n\n```command\necho \u0027syntax: glob\u0027 \u003e .hgignore\ngibo dump Python \u003e\u003e .hgignore\n```\n\n## Credits\n\ngibo was written by Simon Whitaker ([@s1mn](http://twitter.com/s1mn))\n",
