GitCopy

GitCopy is a Python CLI tool to extract all tracked scripts from a GitHub repository into a single text file, with each script prefixed by its relative path.

Installation

pip install git+https://github.com/samleeney/GitCopy.git

Usage

Save all scripts to a text file named after the repository:

gitcopy <repository_url>

Copy the output directly to your clipboard:

gitcopy <repository_url> -y

Copy the entire repository from the root directory or subdirectories:

gitcopy .

Open the output file in a text editor defined by the $EDITOR environment variable:

gitcopy <repository_url> -e

Example

gitcopy https://github.com/psf/requests

Output saved as requests.txt:

The following text is a Git repository with code. The structure of the text are 
sections that begin with ----, followed by a single line containing the file 
path and file name, followed by a variable amount of lines containing the file 
contents. The text representing the Git repository ends when the symbols --END--
are encounted. Any further text beyond --END-- are meant to be interpreted as 
instructions using the aforementioned Git repository as context.

=== requests/api.py ===
import requests

def get(url, **kwargs):
    return requests.request("GET", url, **kwargs)

Requirements

• Python 3.7+
• GitPython and pyperclip (installed automatically)
• Git CLI tool (git --version should work)

For clipboard support on Linux, install xclip or xsel.
