🚀 Gittxt: Get Text from Git — Optimized for AI

Gittxt is an open-source tool that transforms GitHub repositories into LLM-compatible datasets.

Perfect for developers, data scientists, and AI engineers, Gittxt helps you extract and structure .txt, .json, .md content into clean, analyzable formats for use in:

• Prompt engineering
• Fine-tuning & retrieval
• Codebase summarization
• Open-source LLM workflows

---

💡 Why Gittxt?

Large Language Models often expect input in very specific formats. Many tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Gemini, Ollama) struggle with arbitrary GitHub URLs, complex folders, or non-text assets.

Gittxt bridges this gap by:

• Extracting all usable text from a repo
• Organizing it for easy ingestion by LLMs
• Offering structured .txt, .json, .md, .zip outputs
• Giving you full control with filtering, formatting, and plugin support

---

✨ Features at a Glance

• ✅ Text extractor for code, docs, config files
• ✅ Output: .txt, .json, .md, .zip
• ✅ CLI and plugin system (FastAPI, Streamlit)
• ✅ AI-ready summaries (OpenAI / Ollama)
• ✅ Reverse engineer .txt/.json reports back into repo structure
• ✅ .gittxtignore support
• ✅ Async scanning for large projects
• ✅ Works offline and in constrained compute environments
