💅 gh-repo-gitignore — bestie's guide to gitignore templates

okay so this is a page from the GitHub CLI manual (that's the <italic>gh</italic> thing you already have installed, iykyk) — and it's literally all about snooping on the gitignore templates GitHub has ready for you. no cap, it's a little hub page that hands you off to the two commands that actually do stuff. main character energy: it's the parent, the others are the kids. 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

gh-repo-gitignore — list and view available repository gitignore templates ✨

that's it. that's the whole job. it lists 'em and it views 'em and it does not pretend to be anything else. obsessed with the focus honestly.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

gh repo gitignore <command> [flags]

see that <command>? yeah — you gotta pick one of the two below, bestie. this page on its own is giving "menu, not the meal". 🍓 and the [flags] are whatever flags live on the actual subcommand, so check those individual pages. 🙈

👑 AVAILABLE COMMANDS 👑

these are your two icons. click into whichever one you need:

  • gh-repo-gitignore-list(1) — list available repository gitignore templates. this is the "what have we got" command. window shopping. window licking. 🌈
  • gh-repo-gitignore-view(1) — view an available repository gitignore template. this is the "okay show me the actual contents of that one" command. the full reveal. 💅

both of them live under the gh repo gitignore umbrella, so you're always typing that whole lil path. no shortcuts, sorry bestie. 😭

💀 EXIT CODES 💀

listen. when a program finishes, it whispers a number to your shell. here's what those numbers mean. pay attention, this is the useful part fr fr:

  • 0 — Successful execution. slay. it worked. 🎉
  • 1 — Error. something went sideways. 😭
  • 2 — Command canceled. you (or something) bailed out mid-flight. 🫶
  • 4 — Authentication required. go log in, bestie, gh auth login is right there. 🔥
NOTE: Specific commands may have additional exit codes. Refer to the command's help for more information. — so like, don't @ me if list or view has extra numbers up their sleeve. always check the subcommand's own help. iykyk. 💜

🧚 SEE ALSO 🧚

  • gh-repo(1) — the bigger gh repo manual, where all the repo-flavored siblings hang out. go say hi. 🌸

and that's the whole page, bestie!! ✨ go forth and gitignore responsibly. no cap, your repo will thank you. 💖

this lil gem came from the GitHub CLI v2.102.0 manual, dated Oct 2026 — keep that energy, it's iconic. 🦋
