gig it!

Useful repository managing CLI tool for packaging repo & generating .gitignore from gitignore list!

What can GIG do

1. Generating .gitignore file from pre-downloaded templates from gitignore list.
2. Packaging the whole project into one tar/zip, except those files that are ignored by the .gitignore rules. (Using git archive and making it simpler)
