What is .gitignore Generator?

.gitignore Generator combines templates from the github/gitignore project (CC0) — pick any mix of languages (Node, Go, Python, Rust, Java, Ruby, PHP, .NET), frameworks (Next.js, React, Vue, Django, Rails), OS (macOS, Windows, Linux), and editors (VS Code, JetBrains, Vim, Emacs). Patterns are deduplicated across templates by default so you don't get `build/` listed three times. Each section is annotated with a header comment for easy review. Output is plain text ready to paste into a `.gitignore` file. This tool is part of santekno's developer toolbox — a curated collection of utilities built for engineers who care about speed, privacy, and simplicity.

Common use cases

  • Debugging API payloads and integration issues
  • Inspecting tokens, hashes, or encoded strings during development
  • Generating fixtures and sample data for tests
  • Sharing readable output with teammates in code reviews
