bookit

Doc site generator

Overview

This Python program converts all files in a Git repository to markdown files. It's useful for creating doc sites of your code.

The converted markdown files are placed in a .bookit subdirectory. The directory structure inside .bookit is an exact mirror of the original repository.

Usage

python -m bookit /path/to/your/repo

How it works

Each file is converted into a markdown file, with the file name being the #title of the markdown file and the contents of the original file placed inside a code block, highlighted according to the original file's language.

Here's an example of the directory structure transformation:

Before:

repo/
├── README.md
├── file1.py
├── file2.js

After:

repo/
├── .bookit/
│ ├── file1.py.md
│ └── file2.py.md
├── README.md
├── file1.py
└── file2.js
