    Sample output

    I've generated your .gitignore. Detected: Node.js, Next.js, and Docker. Sections added: - OS Files (.DS_Store, etc.) - IDE & Editors (.vscode, .idea) - Environment & Credentials (.env, *.pem) - Node.js & JS Build Output (node_modules, .next) - Docker - Logs & Temp

    About This Skill

    What it does

    This skill automates the creation of professional-grade .gitignore files by intelligently detecting your project's technology stack. It scans your directory for manifest files like package.json, pyproject.toml, or go.mod and constructs an organized, categorized .gitignore file tailored to your specific environment.

    Why use this skill

    Manually curating a .gitignore is error-prone and tedious. This skill ensures you never accidentally commit sensitive .env files, massive node_modules folders, or platform-specific junk like .DS_Store or Thumbs.db. Unlike basic templates, it merges multiple stacks (e.g., a React frontend with a Go backend) into a single, clean file with clear section headers.

    Supported tools & frameworks

    • Web: Node.js, Next.js, Vite, React, Svelte, PHP/Laravel
    • Systems: Go, Rust, C/C++, Swift/iOS
    • Backend: Python/Django, Java/Maven/Gradle, Ruby on Rails, .NET
    • DevOps: Docker, environment variables, and various IDEs (VS Code, IntelliJ, Vim)

    What the output looks like

    The skill generates a well-commented .gitignore file in your root directory. It follows a logical order: Operating System files first, followed by IDE settings, Security/Credentials, language-specific exclusions, and finally general Logs and Temp files.

    Use Cases

    • Prevent sensitive .env and credential files from being leaked to GitHub
    • Auto-detect project stacks like React, Python, or Go to apply correct rules
    • Maintain clean repositories by excluding OS and IDE-specific junk files
    • Standardize .gitignore files across multiple team projects and monorepos
