About This Tool

Every new project needs a `.gitignore` file tailored to its language, framework, editor and OS — a repetitive task that's easy to get wrong. QuickKit's .gitignore Generator bundles 18 common templates covering popular languages, frontend frameworks, editors and operating systems. Check the ones you need and get a merged, de-duplicated `.gitignore` instantly — copy it or download the file. Everything is assembled locally in your browser with no dependency on any external service.

  • ✓Fully Local Assembly — All templates are bundled with the tool — no live API calls, so it works even offline.

FAQ

Why not call GitHub's gitignore API directly?
To stay consistent with QuickKit's "runs entirely in your browser" philosophy, common templates are bundled directly with the tool. This avoids depending on an external service's availability and keeps the tool working offline.
Can I select multiple templates at once?
Yes. You can check any combination of languages, frameworks, editors and operating systems — the tool merges them into one complete .gitignore and automatically removes duplicate rules.
What if I can't find the template I need?
The built-in templates cover the most common use cases. For more specialized rules, download the generated content first, then manually add any project-specific ignore patterns.
Where should I put the generated .gitignore?
Save the downloaded or copied content as a file named .gitignore in your project's root directory (note the leading dot). If your project already has a .gitignore, compare and merge manually rather than overwriting it.
