Gitignore Generator
by Timoranjes
Automatically generate, audit, and repair .gitignore files to prevent secrets leakage and repository pollution.
- Prevent secrets leakage by automatically detecting and ignoring sensitive files.
- Clean up existing repos by identifying tracked build artifacts and OS junk.
- Generate optimized ignore patterns for monorepos and polyglot projects.

Sample input
Audit my Node.js and Docker project for sensitive files and generate a professional gitignore to clean up the build artifacts I accidentally tracked.
Sample output
✓ Detected: Node.js, Docker, VS Code ✓ Scanned: 4 sensitive files (.env, secret.key) flagged for exclusion ✓ Action: Created .gitignore with 42 patterns ✓ Cleanup: Run 'git rm --cached -r build/' to remove 12 tracked artifacts [Project remains clean and SECURE]

About This Skill
What it does
The .gitignore Generator is a specialized skill for AI agents that ensures your project repositories stay clean and secure. It automatically detects your tech stack (Node.js, Python, Rust, Go, Java, etc.), identifies sensitive files like API keys or .env files, and generates a production-grade .gitignore file tailored to your environment.
Why use this skill
Manually creating .gitignore files is error-prone and often leads to accidental secrets leakage or repo pollution. This skill is superior to manual prompting because it performs a multi-step audit: it scans for currently tracked junk files, identifies hardcoded secrets in your source code, and validates pattern syntax (like correct negation and recursive matching) that LLMs often get wrong.
Key Features
- Auto-Detection: Scans project manifests to support polyglot and monorepo setups.
- Security Audit: Proactively finds and untracks sensitive files already in your Git index.
- Standard-Compliant: Pulls from canonical patterns for OS-specific junk and common IDEs.
- Remediation: Provides exact CLI commands to purge files from Git history if they were accidentally committed.
Use Cases
- Prevent secrets leakage by automatically detecting and ignoring sensitive files.
- Clean up existing repos by identifying tracked build artifacts and OS junk.
- Generate optimized ignore patterns for monorepos and polyglot projects.
- Audit .gitignore files for syntax errors or missing stack-specific patterns.
- Remediate historical security leaks with precise Git cleanup commands.
Known Limitations
- Cannot remove secrets from Git history (only provides commands).
- Scanning depth limited to 3 directories for performance.
- Content-based secret detection may have false negatives.
