reatler 0.6.4

A thing that can bundle files into single one
reatler-0.6.4 is not a library.

📦 reatler

reatler is a CLI tool that scans a project directory, detects its type, and bundles matching files into a single output file (output.txt).
It supports automatic project type detection (Rust, JS, Python, etc.) or manual selection of file types, with optional smart directory search.

✨ Features

  • 🔍 Smart search for directories by name (using fd if available, otherwise recursive search).
  • 🧠 Automatic project type detection based on common project files (Cargo.toml, package.json, etc.).
  • 🛠 Manual mode for custom file type and ignore patterns.
  • 📂 .gitignore support — automatically excludes ignored files.
  • 📜 Single-file bundling — concatenates all matched files into output.txt.
  • ⚡ Fast scanning with optional fd integration.
