github VS gitignore

I really like the go-github library, one can learn a lot about how good APIs are written and designed https://github.com/google/go-github.

what you described is basically what I did for the integration tests in the go-github library: https://github.com/google/go-github/tree/master/test

The tool itself is written in Go, leveraging a library called go-github to fetch gitignores. In the first iteration, it can either download a new gitignore file based on selected language and framework (for now it has to be one of the gitignore files present in the aformentioned github/gitignore repo) or replace existing gitignore by specifying new language and path of the ignore to be replaced.

I have a private Github repo where I store all the content for the computer science courses on Boot.dev in markdown files. It would be really convenient if user reported issues automatically manifested as Github issues on that repository! After just a few minutes of digging, I realized it was quite easy to do with the Github API. Given that my backend is a REST-ish API written in Go, I decided to use Google's Github API client package and the official Golang oauth2 package.

If you're building in Go, bradleyfalzon/ghinstallation is an implementation of http.RoundTripper which authenticates as a GitHub App, for example to use in combination with google/go-github.

Go client library for accessing the GitHub API v3

You may want to use the GitHub library as they have already done the work of wrapping the api. "GitHub - google/go-github: Go library for accessing the GitHub API" https://github.com/google/go-github

Use the google/go-github client (Github REST API client) to check GitHub releases for the latest release version

The exporter is written in Go and utilizes a GitHub client library to execute searches using the GitHub search API. The exporter is basically a CLI that takes in configuration options via arguments then runs a web server in a loop that looks for new pull request data periodically.

In conclusion, the Gitignore repository stands as a testament to the power of collective knowledge and collaboration in software development. By providing a centralized repository of .gitignore templates, it empowers developers to streamline their workflow, maintain cleaner repositories, and focus on what they do best – writing exceptional code. As the software development landscape continues to evolve, the significance of .gitignore templates as indispensable tools for developers is set to endure.

The challenge here was actually from my #48in28 Exercism participation, where I am pretty familiar the standard layout for some repositories since I am familiar with tooling and language, working with new languages does not come with the same familiarity, so I found it made sense to use canonical definitions, hence the use of github/gitignore.

Add .env to your .gitignore file to prevent it from being committed. Here's an example file with it already added. You may also use dotenv for advanced configuration and it will automatically load environment variables from a .env file into process.env.

Here you can find ready-made .gitignore templates for various technologies and languages such as Python, Java, Kotlin, Go, and many others: https://github.com/github/gitignore/tree/main.

You could also use this git ignore template. Create you .gitignore and add the contents from that file in.

I've only used free Unity with GitHub or GitLab, professionally and reaching back into internships. One recommendation would be to use a slightly longer .gitignore than the default, like this one.

Virtual Environments are a feature that has been part of python itself since version 3.3. It allows you to isolate both a python version and any packages you install with it. Every python project I develop with uses a virtual environment for such isolation purposes. Now I generally like to create these virtual environments inside the target project's directory so I know exactly what it's tied to. If you use GitHub's python gitignore file naming the virtual environment folder as venv or .venv will ensure it doesn't get committed (which you don't want). So I'll make a new project folder and create a virtual environment inside of it:

Especially considering the GitHub .gitignore template for Node only ignores .env.local, not .local.env: https://github.com/github/gitignore/blob/main/Node.gitignore...
