What the HTAccess Generator does
HTAccess Generator: generates Status and .htaccess from Project / name. Example: project / name my-app gives status .htaccess ready: copy into your repo.
From Project / name, this tool derives Status and .htaccess. Results refresh instantly, so trying variations costs nothing but a moment.
Most of these tasks are one-liners in a terminal, but not when you are away from one. That is usually what brings people inspecting an API response here.
Payloads stay in the tab, so you can safely paste production data without it reaching a third party.
The method, a field-by-field reference and a worked example built from the defaults are all on this page.
What do the HTAccess Generator fields mean?
The HTAccess Generator uses 1 input. Every field is populated on load; treat those numbers as a template rather than a suggestion.
| Field | What to enter | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Project / name | required | my-app |
How does the HTAccess Generator work?
Each output is derived from the inputs above in a single pass; there is no hidden state carried between runs, so the same inputs always give the same generated output.
Values are checked first: an out-of-range or non-numeric entry names the offending field instead of returning nonsense.
Worked example
These are the values the HTAccess Generator loads by default, and the result it produces from them. This walkthrough uses the starting values, which means you can follow along without typing anything.
| Project / name | my-app |
|---|
| Status | .htaccess ready: copy into your repo |
|---|---|
| .htaccess | RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^ index.html [QSA,L] |
How to use it
- Fill in Project / name.
- Watch the results panel as you type: it recalculates on every keystroke.
- The panel reports Status and .htaccess.
- Share the link rather than a screenshot. It carries the values with it.
What this tool does not do
- Output follows the common convention for this format; a specific toolchain may have its own house style.
- Processing happens in your browser, so extremely large inputs are bounded by available memory.
- Results are informational: check anything consequential against a second source.
Frequently asked questions
You need Project / name. Each field is pre-filled with a sensible default, which means a single edit is enough to get a meaningful answer.
With the values loaded when the page opens, status comes out as .htaccess ready: copy into your repo. Change a value and the number is recomputed on the spot.
It never leaves the tab. The page does the work itself rather than asking a server to.
It is free to use, with no premium tier holding back the useful parts.
The generated output is exact for the method described above. Where a value is rounded for display, the underlying figure keeps full precision.
