Bcify

Bcify turns an existing project repository into a Bytecraft .bc scaffold script.

It walks the repo, keeps probable text files, skips binary content, and emits a script made of make-folder and make-file commands that can recreate the text scaffold.

Install

pip install -e .

Usage

bcify path/to/repo
bcify path/to/repo --output project.bc
bcify path/to/repo --root-name cloned-project --include-hidden

By default, bcify:

• writes <repo-name>.bc in the current working directory
• skips common generated or tool directories like .git, node_modules, .venv, and dist
• ignores files that do not look like text
• preserves empty text files

Example

bcify ../my-app --output my-app.bc

Example output:

# Generated by bcify from: ../my-app
set-working-folder "my-app"

make-folder "src"
make-file "README.md" with ---
# my-app
---
make-file "src/main.py" with ---
print("hello")
---
