Questions and answers

Which stacks are supported?
node, python, java, go, rust, macos, vscode, jetbrains and docker. Unknown names are reported.
Should Cargo.lock be ignored?
Only for libraries. Applications should commit it, so the Rust template leaves it as a comment for you to decide.

Use it as an API

.gitignore Generator is also callable as a free HTTP JSON API at https://aidevhub.io/api/gitignore-generator/ — GET with query parameters or POST with a JSON body, no authentication, CORS enabled, fair use (abusive traffic is throttled at the edge; there is no per-request quota header). Responses return { ok, tool, result, meta }.
