• Navigate: Profile Name (bottom left) -> Settings -> Data controls -> Export -> Confirm export.
• Await email from OpenAI and download the .zip file.

2. Copy the Tool to Your Computer 📥

• Open a program called "terminal" or "command prompt".

• Type (and hit enter after each line):

git clone https://github.com/mohamed-chs/chatgpt-history-export-to-md.git

cd chatgpt-history-export-to-md

This will copy this GitHub repository on your computer, and navigate to the root directory.

3. Set Up the Environment 🛠️

Type (and hit enter):

python env.py

This will create a virtual environment and install the necessary python libraries.

Activate the virtual environment

On Linux or MacOS:

source .venv/bin/activate

On Windows:

Using Command Prompt (cmd.exe):

.venv\Scripts\activate.bat

Using PowerShell:

.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1

If you encounter an error about script execution in PowerShell, try running:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -File .venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1

4. Run the Script 🏃‍♂️

With the environment set up, you can now run the script. In the terminal or command prompt, execute:

python cli.py

Now, follow the instructions on screen and choose your desired options, the script will handle the rest.

Notes

This project requires Python 3.8.7 or higher if on Windows. See known issue

This is just a small thing I coded to help me see my convos in beautiful markdown, in Obsidian (my go-to note-taking app).

I wasn't a fan of the clunky, and sometimes paid, browser extensions.

I'm working on automating it to add new conversations and updating old ones. Had some luck with a JavaScript bookmarklet, still ironing it out tho. Shouldn't take long.

for an older version with no external dependencies (no virtual environment needed), see https://github.com/mohamed-chs/chatgpt-history-export-to-md/tree/fe13a701fe8653c9f946b1e12979ce3bfe7104b8.
