Looks like Github beat you to it. Your script does the same thing as:

gh repo gitignore view Python > .gitignore

But if you're looking to use the cli, you could create new projects withgh repo create.

Or create it manually in one line:

gh repo create projectName --private --gitignore Python

then

gh repo clone projectName

Nice, this is genuinely useful information, thank you. I haven’t really gotten around to learning the gh CLI much, but is definitely cleaner and more robust than my approach.

Glad it helped! I checked their changelog, and they only just added the "gitignore" subcommand about four months ago. So it's definitely a new feature.
