.gitignore Generator

Build a .gitignore file for your stack, with the entries people usually forget.

To generate a .gitignore, pick your project type and the relevant build artefacts, caches and dependency folders are included. The secrets section is the one worth keeping — .env files and private keys committed by accident are among the most common security incidents.

Frequently asked questions

I already committed a file — will .gitignore hide it?

No. .gitignore only affects untracked files. Run "git rm --cached <file>" to stop tracking it, then commit. If it was a secret, rotate it — the value stays in your history.
