If I were (hand-wavingly) designing this, at least on the VCS system, I would check first for `.git`, `.hg`, `_darcs` & provide the appropriate ignore/boring files **otherwise** *ask* the user...

Crap. This doesn’t work now that I think about it & happened to me again today. `dune`--unlike `git`, `darcs`, `pijul`, `nix`, `npm`, etc.--does not init in the `$PWD` but creates...

For a just few *more* bytes you could echo out the ignore files for all VCSs! If the match case is implemented, adding new ones following the previous template would...

To be clear, I think adding generic “ignore file support” is a admirable, helpful goal. Where I disagree is in the implementation—specifically, naïvely injecting the improper, unexpected file for non-Git...

Moving the discussion out of the two proposed files isn’t really helping. You can do negative checks to see if non-Git VCS is used & then *don’t* echo a .gitignore—this...

Sorry, I’m definitely mixing up the words since developers are *the users*. I mean the UX. A good user experience for developers is a tool doesn’t do unexpected or unnecessary...

I have something 90% done & working (sans tests). The last hurdle is getting over the hump for “what if file exists?” that someone asked about, which “append to it”...
