git-ignore(1) -- Ignore untracked files

SYNOPSIS

git-ignore [<pattern>...]

Adds the given _pattern_s to a gitignore file.

To lazy to open up .gitignore? me too! simply pass some patterns:

$ git ignore build "*.o" "*.log"
... added 'build'
  ... added '*.o'
... added '*.log'

Running git-ignore without a pattern will display the current patterns:

$ git ignore
build
*.o
*.log
