#gitignore

Match file paths against glob patterns — the same wildcard language used by .gitignore, CI/CD path filters, build tools and the shell. Test whether a single path matches a pattern, or filter a whole list of paths down to the ones that match. Full minimatch support: * (within a segment) and ** (across segments), ? for one character, [abc] character classes, {a,b,c} brace expansion and extended globs, with options for case-insensitivity, matching dotfiles and basename-only matching. Perfect for path-based rules, file selection, route guards, allow/deny lists and config validation. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant; send large lists via POST. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. Distinct from regular-expression testing and from JSON path queries.

Generate .gitignore files as an API — 309 ready-to-use .gitignore templates for languages, frameworks, tools and editors, straight from GitHub's official github/gitignore collection. Fetch the .gitignore for any single technology (Node, Python, Java, Rust, Unity, …), search and list all available templates by name or category (languages, editors/OS globals, community stacks), or — the headline feature — combine several templates into one ready-to-commit .gitignore in a single call (e.g. names=Node,Python,macOS). Ideal for scaffolding tools, project generators, IDEs, CLIs and developer dashboards. Open data from github/gitignore (CC0).
