Build a small .gitignore from local curated templates for common stacks. The output is plain text for review and never changes your files.

Choose templates

Curated starter patterns only: this tool does not inspect your repository, infer frameworks, or claim complete coverage.

A QUICK WALKTHROUGH

How to use this tool

  1. Choose one or more technology and OS templates.
  2. Optionally add a project label for the generated header.
  3. Generate, review, and copy or download the plain .gitignore text.

Curated starter blocks

The generator includes small, readable blocks for Node / JavaScript, Python, Go, Rust, Java / Gradle, and common OS files. Repeated lines are avoided by keeping the blocks explicit and compact.

Review before committing

Ignore rules depend on the tools and deployment setup in each repository. This browser-only generator does not inspect files, fetch templates, or infer a framework.

GOOD TO KNOW

Common questions

Does it inspect my repository?

No. Choose the blocks yourself and review the generated text for your project.

Are these official templates?

No. They are local curated starter patterns with limited coverage, so add project-specific rules as needed.
