Frequently asked questions

Can I select multiple templates at once?Yes — select as many as apply, and the tool merges them into one file, removing any duplicate lines.
What if my stack isn't listed?Use the feedback link below the tool to request it — the template list is actively growing.
Will this overwrite my existing .gitignore?Only if you choose to — downloading saves a new file, so you decide whether to replace or merge it with what you already have.
