Curated set

BEAD ships ~30 hand-picked templates covering the languages, frameworks, build tools, and editors / OS files you actually see in production. We deliberately don't mirror the full github/gitignore catalog — that's noisier than helpful.

Layout

Selected templates are concatenated with a header per section so you can see which entries came from where.
