CLI

You can also install it using the uv tool, and run it directly from the command line:

Usage

# Merge specific files in order
md-merge file1.md another/file.md docs/intro.md --output combined_manual.md

# Merge all *.md files recursively from a directory (alphabetical order)
md-merge --dir path/to/markdown/docs --output full_docs.md

# Specify a different output file
md-merge file.md --output my_merged_file.md

# Enable verbose logging for debugging
mdmerge --dir my_project --verbose

md-merge --help

Features

• Merges specified files or all .md files in a directory.
• Inserts a separator between files showing the source path.
• Adds a header to the merged document with timestamp and file count.
• Preserves YAML front matter (from the first file only).
• Configurable output file path (default: merged.md).
• Verbose logging option (--verbose or -v).
• Robust error handling and validation.

Future Improvements

• Add support for custom separators.
• Implement a GUI for easier file selection.
• Support for other file formats (e.g., .txt, .rst).
• Add unit tests for better coverage.
