A utility to convert a Git repository into a text representation.

gpt-repository-loader

Installation

pip install gpt-repository-loader

Linux Requirements

On Linux, ensure that you have xclip installed for clipboard functionality. You can install it using:

sudo apt-get install xclip  # Debian/Ubuntu
sudo yum install xclip      # Fedora/CentOS

How to use?

Go to the directory you are interested in, run

gpt-repository-loader . -c

This will copy ALL the git tracked content in the repository on clipboard and then you can use Gemini/Claude/ChatGPT to ask questions on it.

Available Command Line Flags

• repo_path: (Required) Path to the Git repository.
• -p, --preamble: Path to a preamble file to include before the repository content.
• -c, --copy: Copies the repository contents to the clipboard. If not provided, the output will be written to a file named output.txt in the current directory.
• -i, --ignore: Additional file paths or patterns to ignore. You can specify multiple paths or patterns.
• --include-js-ts-config: Include JavaScript and TypeScript config files (which are ignored by default).
• -l, --list: List all files with their token counts.

Examples

# Ignore specific files or directories
gpt-repository-loader . -c -i "*.log" "temp_files/" "config.ini"

# Include JS/TS config files and ignore a specific directory
gpt-repository-loader . --include-js-ts-config -i "node_modules/"

# List all included files with their token counts
gpt-repository-loader . -l
