Can I generate a .gitignore for multiple languages or frameworks at once?

Yes, the tool lets you pick several items from the list; it merges the ignore rules for each selected technology into one combined file.

What if the technology I need isn’t in the list?

The generator covers 300+ technologies, but if your specific language or framework is missing, you may need to add ignore rules manually or check back later for community updates.

Is the generated .gitignore file ready to use immediately?

Yes, once generated you can copy the text or download the file; it follows standard .gitignore syntax and works with any Git repository.

Does the site store my selected technologies after I leave?

Recent stacks are saved locally, but clearing history wipes all saved stacks permanently with no undo option.
