What is .gitignore Generator?

Pick your languages, frameworks, and IDEs, and get a ready-to-use .gitignore file. Covers common patterns for Node.js, Python, Java, Go, Rust, .NET, and dozens of editors and operating systems.

Step by Step

  1. 1Select the languages and frameworks in your project.
  2. 2Add any IDE or OS-specific patterns.
  3. 3Review the generated .gitignore content.
  4. 4Copy it or download the file.

Feature Highlights

  • Templates for 50+ languages and frameworks
  • IDE-specific patterns (VS Code, IntelliJ, Vim, etc.)
  • OS-specific entries (macOS .DS_Store, Windows Thumbs.db)
  • Custom pattern additions
  • Download as .gitignore file

Popular Scenarios

  • New project setup

    Generate a comprehensive .gitignore before your first commit so build artifacts and editor files never enter the repo.

  • Multi-language monorepos

    Combine patterns for multiple languages and tools into a single .gitignore.

  • Auditing existing repos

    Compare your current .gitignore against the recommended patterns for your stack to catch missing entries.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do I put the .gitignore file?

In the root of your repository. You can also place additional .gitignore files in subdirectories to override patterns for that subtree.

Can I ignore a file that's already tracked?

Adding it to .gitignore won't remove it from tracking. Run "git rm --cached <file>" first, then commit.
