2. Build the binary (you can also use go install instead)

cd code-buddy

cd cmd/code-buddy

go build -o cb

3. Take that binary file, and move it to usr/local/bin (this is for macOS, add it to your path on windows)

mv cb <your_path_to_bin>

4. Add executable permissions to binary

chmod +x cb

🧩 Use cases

1. Get the gitignore you want on your terminal window

cb gitignore <your_language>

2. Get the gitignore in your clipboard, ready to paste

cb gitignore <your_language> | pbcopy

3. Get the gitignore straight into a file (most likely .gitignore)

cb gitignore <your_language> >> (path_to .gitignore)
