  "github_readme_excerpt": "# gibo: fast access to .gitignore boilerplates\n\n**gibo** (short for .gitignore boilerplates) is a command-line tool to help you easily access .gitignore boilerplates from [github.com/github/gitignore](https://github.com/github/gitignore).\n\n## Typical usage\n\n```command\ngibo dump Swift Xcode \u003e\u003e .gitignore\n```\n\nFor additional usage instructions, run `gibo help`.\n\n## Installation\n\n### Using Homebrew\n\n```command\nbrew install gibo\n```\n\nOr use the tap, which may be slightly more up-to-date:\n\n```command\nbrew install simonwhitaker/tap/gibo\n```\n\n### Using Scoop\n\nOn Windows, you can install gibo using [Scoop](https://scoop.sh/#/apps?q=gibo):\n\n```command\nscoop bucket add main\nscoop install main/gibo\n```\n\n### Using Chocolatey\n\n```command\nchoco install gibo\n```\n\n### Using the Go toolchain\n\n```command\ngo install github.com/simonwhitaker/gibo@latest\n```\n\n### Building from source\n\nClone the repo, then:\n\n```command\ncd gibo\ngo install .\n```\n\n### Downloading a binary\n\nDownload the latest [release](https://github.com/simonwhitaker/gibo/releases) for your platform, then put `gibo` (or `gibo.exe`) somewhere on your path.\n\n### Installation on Docker\n\n```command\ndocker run --rm simonwhitaker/gibo\n```\n\n## Tab completion in bash, zsh, fish and Powershell\n\nSee the instructions at:\n\n```command\ngibo completion\n```\n\n## Use gibo to generate .hgignore files\n\nThe `glob` .hgignore syntax for Mercurial is compatible with .gitignore syntax. 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",
