You may want to rename your project.

Agree. A good few years ago a large part of students at my uni used joe as their linux editor.

They already are https://github.com/karan/joe/issues/30

They were going with gi but that conflicts with gitignore.io

Someone else thought gi-joe and that is an Awesome name!

positive feedback: pretty well-presented, with a nice readme

negative feedback: the time required to run joe (including remember that it exists, possibly installing it, how to invoke it correctly) is going to be similar to the time required to just manually write a ignore file / copy and edit one from a previous project in the same language.

Been using https://www.gitignore.io/ with a lot of success

There is a cool oh-my-zsh plugin for this:

https://www.gitignore.io/docs

gitignore already has this and no need for a plugin.

$ echo "function gi() { curl -L -s https://www.gitignore.io/api/\$@ ;}" >> ~/.zshrc && source ~/.zshrc

What advantage does this have over just grabbing the file from https://github.com/github/gitignore directly?

Saves time, I guess. The same reason you'd wanna use something like `howdoi` to get StackOverflow answers directly inside the terminal.

Alternatively

    gitignore() {
        wget \
        https://raw.githubusercontent.com/github/gitignore/master/Global/OSX.gitignore \
        https://raw.githubusercontent.com/github/gitignore/master/$1.gitignore \
        -O .gitignore
    }
