ctxify 0.2.0

A tool to print git repository files with tree structure

ctxify 🎉

Turn Your Git Repo into a Clipboard-Ready Context Machine

Vibe coded using xAI's based Grok model

ctxify is a sleek CLI tool that grabs all tracked files in your Git repository, builds a neat tree structure, and copies everything—code and all—to your clipboard with a single command. Perfect for sharing project context, debugging, or feeding your code straight into AI assistants. It even gives you an approximate token count for fun! 🚀

Why ctxify?

Ever wanted to:

• Share your project structure and code in one go?
• Hand-pick files interactively with tab autocompletion?
• Skip the hassle of manually copying files?
• Get just the structure without the contents?
• Know how many tokens your project weighs in at?

ctxify does it all. It's lightweight, fast, and skips the fluff (like lock files or .gitignore). Built with Python 3.13 and Git magic. ✨

Features

• 📂 Git-Powered Tree View: Prints a gorgeous file tree of tracked files.
• 📋 Clipboard Ready: Copies the tree and file contents instantly.
• 🚫 Smart Filtering: Ignores non-code files (e.g., uv.lock, .txt) by default.
• 📝 Markdown Support: Optionally include .md files with a flag.
• 🎮 Interactive Modes:
  • Selection Mode: Pick files with fuzzy tab autocompletion.
  • Exclusion Mode: Exclude files or directories interactively.
• 🌳 Structure-Only Mode: Output just the tree, no contents.
• 📏 Token Count: Estimates tokens (1 token ≈ 4 chars) for the full output.

Installation

Install ctxify from PyPI:

• With pipx (recommended for isolated CLI tools):

  pipx install ctxify
  

• With uv (fast and modern Python tool management):

  uv tool install ctxify
  

Optional (for clipboard support)

On Linux, install xclip:

sudo apt install xclip

On macOS, clipboard support is built-in (uses pbcopy), so no additional installation is needed.

Usage

Run it from your Git repo's root:

ctxify

Options

• --md / -md: Include .md files (e.g., README.md).

  ctxify --md
  

• -i / --interactive: Select files interactively with tab autocompletion.

  ctxify -i
  

• -e / --exclude: Exclude files or directories interactively with tab autocompletion.

  ctxify -e
  

• -s / --structure: Output only the project structure, no contents.

  ctxify -s
  

Example Output

Files Included in Context (from .):
├── .python-version
└── src
    └── ctxify
        ├── __init__.py
        ├── cli.py
        └── main.py

Approximate token count: 512 (based on 1 token ≈ 4 chars)

The clipboard gets the tree plus file contents (unless using -s)—ready to paste anywhere!
