📦 reatler

reatler is a CLI tool that scans a project directory, detects its type, and bundles matching files into a single output file (output.json).
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 — bundles all matched files into output.json.
• ⚡ Fast scanning with optional fd integration.

output.json contains a JSON object where each key is the matched file path and each value is the full contents of that file:
