Pack your codebase into a single file for AI analysis

PilePack

Pack your codebase into a single file for AI analysis
Combine all your project files into one text file — perfect for sending to LLMs (ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Deepseek, etc.).

---

✨ Features

• 📁 Recursive scanning – walks through all files in a directory.
• 🚫 Respects .gitignore – optionally disable with --no-gitignore.
• 🌳 Tree structure – displays project hierarchy.
• 📄 Embedded content – each file is shown with its path header.
• 🔐 Secrets masking – hides passwords, tokens, keys (--mask-secrets).
• 🖨️ Two output formats – plain text (txt) or Markdown (md).
• 💾 Save to file – use -o output.txt.
