In its simplest form, it creates an empty .gitignore file in the current directory.

###Available options

  • `-f` flag : force the replacement of an existing .gitignore file     
    
  • `-g` flag : create a global .gitignore file by running `git config --global core.excludesfile <file>`     
    
  • `-d <directory>` : specify the target directory in which create the file     
    

###List of patterns you can specify a comma separated list of patterns to include in the generated file.
The pattern names are the one displayed by the git ignore list command.

Be aware that pattern names are case sensitive
