FAQ
How do I generate a .gitignore file for free?
Tick the stacks you use — Node, Python, Go, macOS, VS Code and more — and a combined .gitignore appears instantly in your browser with no upload, ready to drop into your repository root.
Can I combine multiple stacks?
Yes — that is the point. Select every language, OS and editor you use and the tool merges their ignore rules into one file, each section labelled so you can see where a rule came from.
Is anything uploaded?
No. The file is generated locally from built-in templates and nothing is stored; it works offline.
Where does the .gitignore go?
In the root of your Git repository. Git then ignores the listed files and folders across the project.
Limits
Covers common language, OS and editor templates. Framework-specific additions can be pasted on top.
