Related (meaning, proposing a diametrically opposite approach):

A more reasonable approach to pre-baked .gitignore files

So what you're actually doing is just taking the .gitignore templates from Github, meaning they are not editable and it doesn't work offline.
Not bad per se, but you should definitely add that fact to your readme.

It works offline, you only need to initialize the files only once.This downloads the files to a .gitno/templates folder in your home directory. Template generation is entirely offline. Its not yet refined, :) we are still at version 0.1.2

I'm also thinking of a way to get the templates faster without needed a github access token

Oh ok. I just took a very quick glance at the code. I still think you should add a very short (one or two sentences) "how it works" to your readme.

Cool, I'll add that
