  • Concurrent processing of multiple repositories
  • Generate directory tree structure in Markdown
  • Include file contents with syntax highlighting
  • Support for XML and JSON input files containing repository URLs
  • Progress bars for clone and documentation generation
  • Configurable thread count for parallel processing

Installation

pip install gittomarkdown==1.0.0

Usage

Basic Usage

from GitToMarkdown.GTM import GitToMark

# Document a single repository
repo = GitToMark("https://github.com/username/repository.git")
repo.generate

# Document multiple repositories
repos = GitToMark([
    "https://github.com/user1/repo1.git",
    "https://github.com/user2/repo2.git"
])
repos.generate

Using SSH

# Configure SSH key path first
GitToMark.config(ssh_path="/path/to/your/ssh/key")

# Clone and document using SSH
repo = GitToMark("git@github.com:username/repository.git", ssh=True)
repo.generate

Batch Processing from Files

# From XML file
repos = GitToMark.from_xml("repositories.xml")
repos.generate

# From JSON file
repos = GitToMark.from_json("repositories.json")
repos.generate

# From text file (one URL per line)
repos = GitToMark.from_file("repositories.txt")
repos.generate

Configuration

# Configure thread count and SSH key path
GitToMark.config(threads=8, ssh_path="/path/to/ssh/key")
