Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a .gitignore file?
- A .gitignore file tells Git which files and folders to ignore and not track in version control. Essential for keeping sensitive files, build artifacts, and IDE configs out of your repository.
- Where do I put the .gitignore file?
- Place it in the root directory of your repository. You can also have .gitignore files in subdirectories to apply rules only to that folder.
- Can I combine multiple technologies?
- Yes — select as many as you need. The generator combines all rules into one file with clear section headers.
- Should I commit the .gitignore file?
- Yes, always commit your .gitignore file so all team members ignore the same files.
- Does it work with all Git hosting services?
- Yes — GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and any other Git-based service all respect .gitignore files.
