CLI Does Not Prompt for TypeScript/JavaScript Selection or Auto-Create .gitignore

Open darkdoomrag3 opened this issue 4 months ago • 1 comments

Description

I have a couple of suggestions that I think could improve the Cypress setup experience:

1.Prompt for TypeScript/JavaScript Choice

It would be helpful if the setup process prompted users to choose between TypeScript and JavaScript for their test files. Many modern tools offer this option, which makes the initial configuration smoother.

2.Automatic .gitignore Creation

It would also be useful if Cypress could automatically create a .gitignore file (or add to an existing one) with recommended defaults. This would help prevent accidentally committing generated files like cypress/screenshots and cypress/videos to version control.
