Convert a directory structure and its contents into a single text file, including the tree output and file contents in markdown code blocks.

repo-to-text

repo-to-text is an open-source project that converts the structure and contents of a directory (repository) into a single text file. By executing a simple command in the terminal, this tool generates a text representation of the directory, including the output of the tree command and the contents of each file, formatted for easy reading and sharing.

Features

• Generates a text representation of a directory's structure.
• Includes the output of the tree command.
• Saves the contents of each file, encapsulated in markdown code blocks.
• Copies the generated text representation to the clipboard for easy sharing.
• Easy to install and use via pip and Homebrew.

Usage

After installation, you can use the repo-to-text command in your terminal. Navigate to the directory you want to convert and run:

repo-to-text

This will create a file named repo_snapshot_YYYY-MM-DD-HH-MM-SS-UTC.txt in the current directory with the text representation of the repository. The contents of this file will also be copied to your clipboard for easy sharing.

Options

You can customize the behavior of repo-to-text with the following options:

• --output-dir <path>: Specify an output directory where the generated text file will be saved. For example:

  repo-to-text --output-dir /path/to/output
  

  This will save the file in the specified output directory instead of the current directory.

• --debug: Enable DEBUG logging. By default, repo-to-text runs with INFO logging level. To enable DEBUG logging, use the --debug flag:

  repo-to-text --debug
