Frequently asked questions
My file is in .gitignore but still tracked. Why?
.gitignore only affects untracked files. Run git rm --cached <file> once, then commit.
Is the .gitignore Generator free?
Yes. It is free with no sign-up, and it runs entirely in your browser, so your input is never uploaded or stored.
Is the output random every time?
Yes. Values are generated fresh on each run in your browser; nothing is stored, so copy or download what you need.
