Generate .gitattributes API

Generate a .gitattributes file appropriate for a given project language or stack. Sets correct line-ending normalization, marks binary files, configures linguist overrides for language detection, and sets diff drivers. Available as a simple REST API — POST your input, get structured JSON back. 1 credit per call, no rate limiting, works in any language with HTTP support.

How it works

POST a JSON object with your input data to /v1/gen-doc-gitattributes. The API processes your request server-side using real computation (not mocked data) and returns a structured JSON response with your results and metadata including credits used and processing time.

Use cases

• Use Generate .gitattributes in automated pipelines without installing a library
• Call Generate .gitattributes from AI agent workflows via MCP or REST
• Integrate Generate .gitattributes into serverless functions with zero dependencies
• Build Generate .gitattributes functionality into any language that supports HTTP
