You may want to rename your project.

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.

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

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

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

Alternatively

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

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