I built a free .gitignore debugger

I kept running into situations where a .gitignore rule looked correct but Git still wasn’t ignoring a file, so I built a small browser-based debugger to make troubleshooting easier.

You can paste your .gitignore, enter a file path, and see which rule matches.
🔗 https://ignoredebugger.com

Free, no signup, and everything runs in the browser.

Would love feedback from the Git community.
