ChatGPContextMaker

ChatGPContextMaker is a command-line utility that concatenates files in a directory and its subdirectories into a single file. It is particularly useful when you want to provide an entire program as context to an AI like ChatGPT to work on code projects.

Features

• Recursively concatenate files from a directory and its subdirectories
• Provide a default output location (current working directory) and default output file name
• Prevent overwriting existing files by appending the current datetime to the output file name
• Easily installable and usable via pip and Poetry

Installation

Using pip

You can install ChatGPTContextMaker directly from PyPI using pip:

pip install gpcontext-maker

Using Poetry

Alternatively, you can install ChatGPTContextMaker using Poetry:

1. Install Poetry, if you haven't already:

pip install poetry

2. Add ChatGPTContextMaker to your project's dependencies:

poetry add gpcontext-maker

Usage

As a command-line tool

To use ChatGPContextMaker as a command-line tool, you can run the following command in your terminal:

python -m gpcontext-maker /path/to/input/directory -o /path/to/output/directory -f output_file_name

• /path/to/input/directory: The directory containing the files you want to concatenate

• /path/to/output/directory: The directory where the concatenated file will be saved (default: current working directory)

• output_file_name: The name of the output file (default: context)

If a file with the same name already exists in the output directory, the current datetime will be appended to the output file name to prevent overwriting.

As a module

You can also use ChatGPTContextMaker as a module in your Python script:

from chatgpcontextmaker import concat_files_recursive

source_directory = "/path/to/input/directory"
output_directory = "/path/to/output/directory"
output_file_name = "output_file_name"

output_file_path = os.path.join(output_directory, output_file_name)

concat_files_recursive(source_directory, output_file_path)

Replace /path/to/input/directory, /path/to/output/directory, and output_file_name with the appropriate paths and file name for your use case. The concat_files_recursive function will concatenate the files from the input directory and its subdirectories and save the result in the specified output file.

Extending ChatGPTContextMaker

You can extend the functionality of ChatGPTContextMaker by modifying the __main__.py script in the chatgpcontextmaker package.
