Can I combine multiple presets?

Yes, check as many presets as you need and they'll be merged into one file.

Are the presets kept up to date?

They cover the most common patterns for each ecosystem and OS.

Can I download the file directly?

Yes, use the Download button to save it as .gitignore.

Is my data uploaded to a server?

No. This tool runs entirely in your browser using standard web APIs, so your input never leaves your device and nothing is logged or stored on our servers.

Does it work offline and on mobile?

Yes. Once the page has loaded it keeps working without a network connection, and the layout is responsive so it stays usable on phones and tablets.
