coderoller 0.4.1

A collection of tools to flatten and process code repositories

Coderoller

Coderoller is a Python utility that flattens a source code repository into a single markdown file. This tool collects all relevant source and configuration files, including Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, HTML, CSS, JSON, and more, and compiles them into a markdown document. The flattened file provides an organized overview of the repository's contents, making it easy to use in conjunction with LLMs. Simply copy the contents of the flattened file and paste it into your LLM chat context. The flattened form is also great for API-based uses of LLMs in automated workflows.

Features

• Flattens source code repositories into a single markdown file.
• Supports multiple file types including .py, .js, .jsx, .ts, .tsx, .swift, .go, .java, .c, .cpp, .h, .hpp, .cs, .lua, .rb, .php, .pl, .html, .css, .json, .toml, .md, .yaml, .yml, .conf, .ini, and .sh.
• Automatically includes README files if present, placing it at the start of the flattened file.
• Excludes hidden files and directories (those starting with a dot), specific directories (build, dist, node_modules, __pycache__), specific files (lockfiles, hidden files, other flattened files, etc.), and any paths specified in .gitignore.
• Supports flattening directly from Git URLs even if the repository is not cloned locally.

Installation

Coderoller requires Python 3.10 or later.

Using pipx

You can install Coderoller globally using pipx:

pipx install coderoller

Usage

To flatten a source repository, use the coderoller-flatten-repo script.

coderoller-flatten-repo /path/to/reponame

To flatten a source repository directly from a Git URL, use the coderoller-flatten-repo script with the repository URL:

coderoller-flatten-repo https://github.com/username/reponame.git

Both commands will create a markdown file named reponame.flat.md in the current working directory, containing the flattened contents of the repository.
