Frequently Asked Questions

What templates are available?

Templates for Node.js, Python, Go, Rust, Java, Ruby, macOS, Windows, Linux, JetBrains, VS Code, Vim, Docker, and Terraform. Each template includes the most commonly ignored files and directories.

Can I combine multiple templates?

Yes. Select as many templates as you need — they are combined into a single .gitignore file with section headers for organization.

Where should I place the .gitignore file?

Place the .gitignore file in the root directory of your Git repository. Git reads it automatically and excludes matching files from version control. You can also have .gitignore files in subdirectories for directory-specific rules.
