tiny php script to add files to .gitignore file

gitignore.php

#!/bin/env php
<?php
/**
 * add files to .gitignore.
 * Put this file in your bin dir (/home/<username>/bin/), make it executable (chmod +x /home/<username>/bin/gitingore.php). Done.
 **/
// remove script name
array_shift($argv);
// arguments are file name
$files = $argv;

if (empty($files)) {
    throw new Exception('Provide files or directories to ignore as arguments.');
}

$files_as_string = implode(PHP_EOL, $files).PHP_EOL;

if (file_put_contents('.gitignore', $files_as_string, FILE_APPEND)) {
    print "Files added to .gitignore : $files_as_string";
}

In terminal you can now type gitignore vendor/ to add vendor directory to .gitignore file (created if not present).
