gitignore

What problem does it solve?

Generates a .gitignore file tailored to your project to exclude common files and directories from version control, reducing accidental commits of sensitive or bulky files.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Project-wide exclusions: Creates a .gitignore that covers node_modules, build artifacts (dist, build, out), environment files (.env, env.local, .env.*.local), and editor directories (.vscode, .idea).
• Platform-aware templates: Adapts to Node.js, Python, Java, and other ecosystems with recommended ignores.
• Use Case: Start a new repo and automatically generate a robust ignore list to prevent committing sensitive data and large artifacts.

Quick Start

Create the file at the repository root named .gitignore with common exclusions for your project.
