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 coresponding digest

gitingest.com

🚀 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 command (Currently on Linux only)
• Python package: Import it in your code

📦 Installation

pip install gitingest

💡 Command Line usage

The gitingest command line tool allows you to analyze codebases and create a text dump of their contents.

# Basic usage
gitingest /path/to/directory

# From url
gitingest https://github.com/cyclotruc/gitingest

# See more options
gitingest --help

This will write the digest in a text file (default digest.txt) in your current working directory.

🐛 Python package usage

from gitingest 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
