Missing .gitignore file in boilerplate

See original GitHub issue

What’s going on?

In ignite-cli@4.0.0, ignite-cli new command fails when trying to copy non-existing .gitignore file from boilerplate. Manually adding the .gitignore to the boilerplate folder in node_modules fixes it. I have tried it with npx , global and local install.

Steps to reproduce

Run ignite-cli new PizzaApp.
Receive error:

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/ignite-cli/node_modules/gluegun/build/index.js:13
    throw up;
    ^

To fix this error, simply copy the .gitignore from here and paste it on the reported missing path.

I temporary solved this as follow

npm i -g ignite-cli

# change the following according to where your npm install the global packages
touch .nvm/versions/node/v14.14.0/lib/node_modules/ignite-cli/boilerplate/.gitignore

ignite-cli new PizzaApp
