# REPOCAT 🐱
This is a simple cli tool that accepts either:
1) a github repo url
2) a path to a folder
and concatenates all text/code files into a single txt file. This makes it easier to use as context for LLMs.
## What file extensions does it look for?
Check [src/main.rs] for extensions. Feel free to make a PR to add more
## Does it automatically filter some files?
Yes! repocat uses the [ignore crate from ripgrep](https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/blob/master/GUIDE.md#automatic-filtering), meaning it ignores all of the following by default:
Files and directories that match glob patterns in these three categories:
.gitignore globs (including global and repo-specific globs). This includes .gitignore files in parent directories that are part of the same git repository. (Unless the --no-require-git flag is given.)
.ignore globs, which take precedence over all gitignore globs when there's a conflict. This includes .ignore files in parent directories.
.rgignore globs, which take precedence over all .ignore globs when there's a conflict. This includes .rgignore files in parent directories.
Hidden files and directories.
Binary files. (ripgrep considers any file with a NUL byte to be binary.)
