.gitignore

Grouped with comments, then merged in selection order with duplicates removed

Instructions

  • Select every stack used by the project, such as Node.js and Vue.
  • Common rules can be toggled separately; duplicates keep their first position and every section has a comment.
  • After downloading, adjust the rules to match your project's actual directory structure.

.gitignore Generator

.gitignore Generator is a free online tool for building .gitignore files from built-in templates covering ten project types: Node.js, Vue, Python, Java, PHP, iOS, Rust, Go, Android, and .NET. Select multiple stacks and the tool merges them, removes duplicate rules (showing how many were deduplicated), and can append common OS and editor ignore rules.

Everything is generated locally in your browser with nothing uploaded, free and no sign-up needed. Perfect for developers bootstrapping a new repository or combining templates for mixed-stack projects like Node + Python.

How to Use

  1. Check the tech stacks your project uses (multiple allowed, e.g., Node.js + Python)
  2. Optionally enable common rules for OS and editor files
  3. Review the live-generated, deduplicated .gitignore on the right
  4. Click Copy or Download and place the file in your repository root

FAQ

Is this .gitignore generator free?

Yes, it is completely free with no registration required and no usage limits.

Are my selections uploaded anywhere?

No. The templates are built into the page, and merging and deduplication happen entirely in your browser — no data is sent to any server.

Which project types are supported?

Ten templates: Node.js, Vue, Python, Java, PHP, iOS, Rust, Go, Android, and .NET. You can combine any of them, and the tool merges and deduplicates the rules automatically.

Will combining templates produce duplicate rules?

No. The tool detects and removes duplicate entries across the selected templates and shows how many were deduplicated, so the output .gitignore is clean and free of redundancy.
