📦 Installation

pip install gitingest

🧩 Browser Extension Usage

The extension is open source at lcandy2/gitingest-extension.

Issues and feature requests are welcome to the repo.

💡 Command line usage

The gitingest command line tool allows you to analyze codebases and create a text dump of their contents.

# Basic usage
gitingest /path/to/directory

# From URL
gitingest https://github.com/cyclotruc/gitingest

# See more options
gitingest --help

This will write the digest in a text file (default digest.txt) in your current working directory.

🐍 Python package usage

# Synchronous usage
from gitingest import ingest

summary, tree, content = ingest("path/to/directory")

# or from URL
summary, tree, content = ingest("https://github.com/cyclotruc/gitingest")

By default, this won't write a file but can be enabled with the output argument.

# Asynchronous usage
from gitingest import ingest_async
import asyncio

result = asyncio.run(ingest_async("path/to/directory"))

Jupyter notebook usage

from gitingest import ingest_async

# Use await directly in Jupyter
summary, tree, content = await ingest_async("path/to/directory")

This is because Jupyter notebooks are asynchronous by default.

🐳 Self-host

1. Build the image:

   docker build -t gitingest .
   

2. Run the container:

   docker run -d --name gitingest -p 8000:8000 gitingest
   

The application will be available at http://localhost:8000.

If you are hosting it on a domain, you can specify the allowed hostnames via env variable ALLOWED_HOSTS.

# Default: "gitingest.com, *.gitingest.com, localhost, 127.0.0.1".
ALLOWED_HOSTS="example.com, localhost, 127.0.0.1"
