# Adds call to gitignore.sh api to automatically
# generate a .gitignore file with the individual arguments
# passed in included as ignored packages.
#
# Pass in -f as first argument to save the file as .gitignore
# in the current directory in addition to printing to stdout.
# Will *overwrite* any previous .gitignore file that exists in
# current directory.
#
# When called without arguments will load all possible arguments
# as fzf searchable list if fzf is in path.
#
# Enables completion for zsh in git/.config/shell/zshrc.d/_gitignore_completions.zsh
