What is .gitignore Generator?
Generate comprehensive .gitignore files by combining templates for 50+ technologies including programming languages, frameworks, IDEs, and operating systems.
Select multiple templates and merge them into a single deduplicated .gitignore with proper formatting. Includes common additions like .env, .DS_Store, node_modules, and __pycache__. Build a .gitignore for Laravel, Unity, Flutter, or a Visual Studio solution, combine a Node.js and VS Code and macOS setup, or stack Python, Django, and PyCharm patterns into one file. Edit the output manually, copy to clipboard, or download as a .gitignore file. All processing happens in your browser - no data is sent anywhere.
