🔒 Nothing you select is uploaded — templates are bundled into this page.

Stop committing build artifacts by accident

A good .gitignore keeps dependency folders, build output, logs and editor settings out of your repository. Combine templates for every language and tool in your stack into one merged file with duplicate lines automatically removed.

Mix and match

Select any combination of languages, frameworks, editors and operating systems.

Deduplicated output

Overlapping rules from multiple templates are merged without repeating lines.

Private by design

All templates are bundled into the page and merged locally in your browser.

gitignore generator FAQ

Can I combine multiple templates?

Yes. Select as many languages, frameworks, editors and operating systems as you need and they will be merged into one file with duplicate lines removed.

What if my language or framework isn't listed?

Use the closest match and add any extra project-specific ignore rules manually after generating the file.

Where should the .gitignore file go?

Save it as .gitignore in the root of your Git repository. Nested .gitignore files also work for folder-specific rules.

Is my selection uploaded anywhere?

No. The templates are bundled into this page and merged entirely in your browser.
