Your Data Never Leaves Your Device
Every tool runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you type is uploaded, stored, or logged on our servers.
The .gitignore Generator lets you instantly build a combined .gitignore file for any stack — pick languages like Python, Node, Go, or Java, add frameworks like Next.js, Django, or Laravel, include DevOps tools such as Docker, Terraform, or Kubernetes, and throw in OS-specific entries for macOS, Windows, or Linux. All selected templates are merged into a single, download-ready file with no duplication.
The tool runs entirely in your browser — no uploads, no sign-up. Use it to bootstrap a .gitignore for a new project, fill gaps in an existing one, or quickly reference which files a specific ecosystem recommends excluding from version control.
FAQ
A .gitignore file tells Git which files and directories to ignore — preventing them from being tracked or committed. It typically excludes build outputs, dependency folders (like node_modules), logs, environment files, and editor-specific configs.
Yes. Select as many languages, frameworks, and tools as you need. The generator merges all selected templates into a single .gitignore file, deduplicating entries where possible.
No. Everything runs entirely client-side. No data is uploaded or sent to any server.
Yes, always. Committing .gitignore ensures all contributors and CI environments share the same ignore rules.
This generator includes templates for VS Code and JetBrains IDEs. However, some teams prefer to keep editor configs in a global ~/.gitignore_global rather than the project .gitignore, so all collaborators' setups are respected.
After downloading the generated file, open it and add your own patterns at the bottom. Patterns support wildcards (*), directory-specific matches (dir/), and negation (! to un-ignore a file).
