About Gitignore

Gitignore is a free, browser-based utility designed to make developer and design work as quick and frictionless as possible. Everything happens client-side, which means your files and data never leave your machine. The interface is intentionally minimal so you can focus on the task instead of learning the tool. It is one of about a hundred developer tools that share the same philosophy: do one thing, do it well, get out of your way.

When you'd reach for Gitignore

  • You need to handle a one-off task right before a meeting and don't have time to install anything.

    Anyone working remotely on a borrowed or restricted machine.

    Open the page, get the result, paste it into your doc — under a minute.

  • You're hitting the daily limit of a paid SaaS and need a backup option for a single quick job.

    Marketers and ops people whose primary tool is metered.

    Stay productive without burning credits.

  • You're on a public or shared machine and don't want to leave traces of what you're working on.

    Travelers, contractors, anyone working from a friend's computer.

    Nothing is uploaded, nothing persists if you're not signed in.

  • You're cleaning up a folder of files that accumulated over a project and need to standardize them.

    Designers, writers, and developers wrapping up deliverables.

    Drop each file in, copy the output, move on.
