## About this tool

Stack .gitignore snippets for Node, Python, Go, Rust, Java, Next.js, macOS, and Windows.

How to use: toggle stacks, copy the file. Templates are short starters, not the full github/gitignore corpus.

Example: Node plus macOS ignores node_modules and .DS_Store. Related: env toolkit for .env handling.
