About .gitignore Analyzer
.gitignore Analyzer counts patterns, negations (!), directory patterns, and comments, and detects duplicate patterns. It also suggests common patterns that may be missing (node_modules, .env, dist, .DS_Store, *.log).
Useful for making sure a repo doesn't accidentally commit files that should be ignored.
FAQ
Is my data sent to a server?
No. The entire analysis runs in your browser with JavaScript. Nothing is uploaded, logged, or stored on our servers — safe for sensitive data.
How is this analyzer different from a parser, validator, or viewer?
An analyzer produces an insight report — metrics, statistics, warnings, and recommendations — to help you judge the quality or characteristics of the input. A parser breaks it into structure, a validator gives a valid/invalid verdict, and a viewer just displays it. An analyzer focuses on "how good / what are its characteristics".
