grabit 0.1.0

Simple Python CLI tool for turning directories into a single text file for input to LLMs.

grabit

grabit is a command-line tool for recursively scanning a directory, extracting file contents, and saving or copying them to the clipboard while respecting .grabit ignore rules. The tool helps turn complex projects into LLM input for big context questions.

Features

• Recursively extracts file contents from a directory.
• Respects .grabit ignore files (similar to .gitignore).
• Saves extracted content to a file or copies it to the clipboard.
• Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Installation

Install grabit using pip:

pip install grabit

Usage

Basic Usage

grabit /path/to/directory

Save Output to a File

grabit /path/to/directory -o output.txt

Copy Output to Clipboard

grabit /path/to/directory -c

Ignore Files

To ignore specific files or patterns, create a .grabit file in the root of your project. This works similarly to .gitignore.

Example .grabit:

*.log
__pycache__/
secrets.txt

Example Output

When run, grabit will generate a structured output:

## `src/main.py`:
``
print("Hello, World!")
``

## `README.md`:
``
# Project Readme
``
