repo2img 1.0.3

A high-performance CLI tool to convert a code repository into a single, compressed, and encrypted image and back.

repo2img (CLI)

A Python tool to encode and decode full code repositories into a single PNG image. Supports optional AES-256 encryption.

Features

• Encode full folders into a single .png file
• Decode image back into original repo (exact structure)
• Optional AES-256 encryption using password
• Offline CLI utility

Installation

pip install -r requirements.txt

Encode

python main.py encode --path ./my_repo --out repo.png --encrypt --password mypass

Decode

python main.py decode --path repo.png --out ./restored_repo --password mypass

Project Structure

• cli/: CLI argument handlers
• core/: core logic (archive, crypto, encode/decode)
• utils/: helpers for I/O, hashing
• main.py: CLI entrypoint

Encryption

• AES-256-GCM (with salt + password-derived key)
• Ensure password is kept safe to recover the repo

Notes

• Max repo size supported ~12GB (based on PNG pixel limits)
• All encoding is lossless and fully reversible
• Output image is not meant to be human-viewable
