Can I select multiple languages at once?

Yes — click multiple language/framework buttons to combine their ignore rules into a single .gitignore file. Duplicate patterns are automatically deduplicated.

Are IDE-specific files included?

Yes. Common IDE files such as .idea/ (JetBrains), .vscode/ settings, and .DS_Store (macOS) are included in all generated files.

How do I use the generated file?

Click the copy button or download button, then save the file as .gitignore in the root of your repository. Git will automatically use it to exclude the listed paths.
