This is a very interesting cli, its so simple. I stumbled accross the `gi` command awhile back and was like pfft, I dont want to install something for that. Didn't even realize that you **don't** install it, its just http. Their _install_ instructions lead you to putting a curl funtion in your bashrc. ``` bash function gi() { curl -sLw \"\\\n\" https://www.toptal.com/developers/gitignore/api/\$@ ;} ``` This now has me wondering "What else can build like this?" !!! note This post is a thought.
