About this tool

IconVault's Gitignore Generator turns ignore rules into a two-minute job. Choose from 150+ curated templates covering languages (Node.js, Python, Go, Rust, Java), frameworks (React, Next.js, Django, Laravel, Flutter), tools (Docker, Terraform, Firebase), operating systems and IDEs, and the tool merges your selection into one clean .gitignore file.

The merge is smart: duplicate lines are removed automatically, every section is labeled, and you get a live preview as you toggle templates, then copy or download the finished file. It is free with no signup and runs fully in your browser, so your project setup stays private. The honest caveat: templates are starting points, so review the preview before committing, and remember .gitignore cannot untrack files you already committed (use git rm --cached for those).
