CLI tool to analyze and create text dumps of codebases for LLMs
Project description
Gitingest
Turn any Git repository into a prompt-friendly text ingest for LLMs.
You can also replace hub with ingest in any GitHub URL to access the corresponding digest.
gitingest.com · Chrome Extension · Firefox Add-on
🚀 Features
- Easy code context: Get a text digest from a Git repository URL or a directory
- Smart Formatting: Optimized output format for LLM prompts
- Statistics about:
- File and directory structure
- Size of the extract
- Token count
- CLI tool: Run it as a shell command
- Python package: Import it in your code
📚 Requirements
- Python 3.7+
📦 Installation
Purgo Ingest is available on PyPI.
You can install it using pip:
pip install purgo_ingest
However, it might be a good idea to use pipx to install it.
You can install pipx using your preferred package manager.
brew install pipx
apt install pipx
scoop install pipx
...
If you are using pipx for the first time, run:
pipx ensurepath
# install purgo_ingest
pipx install purgo_ingest
🧩 Browser Extension Usage
The extension is open source at lcandy2/gitingest-extension.
Issues and feature requests are welcome to the repo.
💡 Command line usage
The purgo_ingest command line tool allows you to analyze codebases and create a text dump of their contents.
# Basic usage
purgo_ingest /path/to/directory
# From URL
purgo_ingest https://github.com/cyclotruc/gitingest
# See more options
purgo_ingest --help
This will write the digest in a text file (default digest.txt) in your current working directory.
🐍 Python package usage
# Synchronous usage
from purgo_ingest import ingest
summary, tree, content = ingest("path/to/directory")
# or from URL
summary, tree, content = ingest("https://github.com/cyclotruc/gitingest")
By default, this won't write a file but can be enabled with the output argument.
# Asynchronous usage
from purgo_ingest import ingest_async
import asyncio
result = asyncio.run(ingest_async("path/to/directory"))
Structured Output
If you need to ingest a repository and want to access each file separately rather than combined in a single prompt, use the structured output entry points:
# Synchronous structured usage
from purgo_ingest import ingest_structured
# Returns a dictionary with metadata and individual file contents
result = ingest_structured("path/to/directory")
# Access metadata
repo_name = result["metadata"]["repository"]
# Access individual files
for file in result["files"]:
file_path = file["path"]
file_content = file["content"]
file_size = file["size"]
# Process each file separately
# Asynchronous structured usage
from purgo_ingest import ingest_structured_async
import asyncio
# Returns a dictionary with metadata and individual file contents
result = asyncio.run(ingest_structured_async("path/to/directory"))
The structured output is also available in the CLI:
# Generate structured JSON output
purgo_ingest /path/to/directory --structured
# Output to a specific file
purgo_ingest /path/to/directory --structured -o output.json
Jupyter notebook usage
from purgo_ingest import ingest_async
# Use await directly in Jupyter
summary, tree, content = await ingest_async("path/to/directory")
This is because Jupyter notebooks are asynchronous by default.
🐳 Self-host
-
Build the image:
docker build -t gitingest .
-
Run the container:
docker run -d --name gitingest -p 8000:8000 gitingest
The application will be available at http://localhost:8000.
If you are hosting it on a domain, you can specify the allowed hostnames via env variable ALLOWED_HOSTS.
# Default: "gitingest.com, *.gitingest.com, localhost, 127.0.0.1".
ALLOWED_HOSTS="example.com, localhost, 127.0.0.1"
