Yes, you can select multiple categories (e.g. Node.js + VS Code + macOS) and all relevant ignore patterns will be combined into one file.
Why should I use a .gitignore?
A .gitignore prevents you from accidentally committing node_modules, compiled binaries, secrets, IDE-specific files, and OS clutter like .DS_Store to your repository.
