What is the .gitignore Generator?
A .gitignore file tells Git which files not to track – dependencies, build output, logs, secrets and editor clutter. Tick the languages, frameworks, operating systems and editors your project uses, and the tool merges the right patterns into one clean file you can copy or download. Always keep .env files and keys out of Git.
How to use the .gitignore Generator
- Tick your stack, OS and editor.
- Add any custom paths.
- Download as .gitignore in your project root.
Already committed a file?
Adding it to .gitignore is not enough – run git rm --cached filename, then commit.
This .gitignore Generator is 100% free, needs no signup and runs privately in your browser – on phone, tablet or computer.
