What is a .gitignore file?

A .gitignore file tells Git which files and directories to ignore in a project. Files listed here won't be tracked, committed, or pushed to your repository — useful for build artifacts, dependencies, environment files, and IDE settings.

Can I combine multiple technology templates?

Yes! Select multiple technologies and all their patterns will be merged into a single .gitignore file. This is great for full-stack projects that use Node.js, Docker, and VS Code simultaneously.

Should I commit my .gitignore file?

Yes, always commit your .gitignore file. It should be part of your repository so all team members automatically ignore the same files. Only put your personal editor settings in a global gitignore (~/.gitignore_global) instead.

Why isn't my file being ignored even after adding it to .gitignore?

If a file was already tracked by Git before you added it to .gitignore, Git will continue tracking it. You need to remove it from tracking with: git rm --cached

Is this .gitignore generator free?

Yes, completely free. All generation happens in your browser — no data is sent to any server.
