# Glimpse
A blazingly fast tool for peeking at codebases. Perfect for loading your codebase into an LLM's context.
## Features
- 🚀 Fast parallel file processing
- 🌳 Tree-view of codebase structure
- 📝 Source code content viewing
- ⚙️ Configurable defaults
- 📋 Clipboard support
- 🎨 Customizable file type detection
## Installation
```bash
cargo install glimpse
```
## Usage
Basic usage:
```bash
glimpse /path/to/project
```
Common options:
```bash
# Show hidden files
glimpse -H /path/to/project
# Only show tree structure
glimpse -o tree /path/to/project
# Copy output to clipboard
glimpse -c /path/to/project
# Save output to file
glimpse -f output.txt /path/to/project
# Include specific file types
glimpse -i "*.rs,*.go" /path/to/project
# Exclude patterns
glimpse -e "target/*,dist/*" /path/to/project
```
## Configuration
Glimpse uses a config file located at:
- Linux/macOS: `~/.config/glimpse/config.toml`
- Windows: `%APPDATA%\glimpse\config.toml`
Example configuration:
```toml
max_size = 10485760 # 10MB
max_depth = 20
default_output_format = "both"
default_excludes = [
"**/.git/**",
"**/target/**",
"**/node_modules/**"
]
```
## Troubleshooting
1. **File too large**: Adjust `max_size` in config
2. **Missing files**: Check `hidden` flag and exclude patterns
3. **Performance issues**: Try adjusting thread count with `-t`
