Which project types are supported?

Nine stacks: Node.js, Python, Java, Go, Rust, React, Next.js, Swift and .NET — each with stack-specific entries plus optional OS, IDE, env and log files.

Is the .gitignore file uploaded?

No. Everything builds in your browser — the file is generated from local templates.

Can I customise the entries?

Toggle the four extras (OS, IDE, env, logs). For deeper customisation, copy the output and tweak in your editor.

Does it work for monorepos?

Pick the dominant stack (e.g. Node) and add extras. For multi-language monorepos, you may want to merge multiple .gitignore files manually.
