Product definition
Focused the one-day build on a repeatable repository setup task: select relevant rules and export a readable file without uploading project paths.
Open Source / Git Tools / Daily Build
Gitignore Builder
/ Overview
A dependency-free browser utility for combining practical stack, editor, operating-system and sensitive-file rules into one clean, deduplicated .gitignore.
Starting a repository often means copying ignore rules from several sources, which can create duplicates, hide rule order and omit local secrets or tooling files.
/ Provided servicesClear thinking.
Clear thinking.
Practical delivery.
Interface design
Designed a responsive neo-brutalist two-panel workspace with presets, individual groups, custom patterns and a live output summary.
Engineering
Separated rule data, pattern normalization, duplicate removal and summary generation into testable dependency-free JavaScript functions.
/ Solution
I built a local browser utility with reviewed presets and selectable rule groups, custom one-line patterns, stable deduplication and copy or download actions for the generated .gitignore.
/ Impact
Stack and tooling rule presets
Stable rule deduplication
Local copy and file download
Nine passing logic tests
JavaScript modules
Data-driven rule groups, stable Set-based deduplication, custom-pattern normalization and local Blob downloads.
HTML & CSS
Semantic checkboxes, live status updates, keyboard-visible controls and responsive panels without runtime dependencies.
Node test runner
Nine tests cover separator normalization, comments, multiline rejection, duplicates, secret defaults, negation order and empty output.
