Why not just install github/gitignore?

Those templates are excellent but each is its own file. For a single repo you usually want a hand-picked combination of three or four — that's what this tool lets you assemble quickly.

Will this miss things specific to my setup?

Probably some — secret config files, local caches, build outputs of niche tools. Treat the output as a baseline and add a `# Local` section at the bottom for anything else.
