The .gitignore generator combines templates for technologies (Node, Next.js, React, Python, Java, Go, Rust, PHP, Ruby, Docker), editors (VSCode, JetBrains, Vim) and operating systems (macOS, Windows, Linux) to build a .gitignore file tailored to your project. Check the ones you use, and the file is generated instantly combining all selected sections, each with its own comment so you know where each rule comes from. Download it directly as .gitignore or copy it to your clipboard. Templates are hand-curated with the most common rules for each category — for very specific cases in your project, always review the result before committing.
