About this tool
Generate .gitignore files for any combination of programming languages, frameworks, and IDEs. Select from 13 technology templates: Node.js, Python, React, Next.js, Go, Rust, Java, .NET, Docker, VS Code, JetBrains, macOS, Windows, and Linux. Each template includes the standard ignore patterns recommended by the respective communities. Add custom entries for project-specific files and directories. The generated .gitignore follows best practices: ignoring dependency directories (node_modules, vendor, .venv), build artifacts (dist, build, .next), environment files (.env, .env.local), IDE settings, OS-specific files, and log files. Copy the complete .gitignore with one click.
