Closed OndroNR closed 2 years ago

So users can easily download .gitignore file in terminal after selecting templates on the website

Hi @OndroNR Thank you for contributing!

I see where you're coming from and I totally appreciate the intention. But wget is not available on all platforms and some people might get confused why an instruction available on the website is not working on their machine. That could lead to people opening issues that are not necessarily related to gitignore.io.

All in all, copying the URL from the browser and using it alongside any command-line tool is pretty straightforward and I think we should leave people to their own preferences.

I like your thinking, though! We're planning to do series of UX improvements on this app and I'll definitely add your idea to our ideas bucket.

Hi @filipechagas

I am looking forward to UX improvements :) I just would like to know, what development platforms would include git, but not wget. Thank you.
