gitignore Generator
Generate a .gitignore file by picking the languages, frameworks and tools your project uses. Committing build artifacts, dependency folders, environment files and editor junk is a common mistake, and a good .gitignore prevents it from the start. This generator assembles well-known ignore patterns for popular stacks like Node, Python, Java, Go and Rust, plus common editors and operating systems, so you get a sensible starting point in seconds instead of copying snippets from memory. Toggle the presets that apply to your repo and the combined file updates live. Copy the result straight into your project root. Everything is assembled in your browser from built-in templates, so no request is ever made to an external service.
