IgnoreDebugger is a browser-based tool for debugginggitignore rules. Paste your rules and a file path to see whether the path is ignored, which rule matches it, and why. It helps developers quickly diagnose commongitignore issues without manually tracing patterns across multiple files.
I built IgnoreDebugger after running into the classic “why isn't .gitignore ignoring this?” problem.
The goal is simple: make it easier to see which rule matches a path and understand why Git reaches that result.
Would love to hear what you think and what .gitignore problems you've run into.
