Sourcepile

Simple cli application that allows you to quickly extract all contents of a folder or path into a single file with file name annotations for easy pasting into LLMs

Sourcepile walks your directory tree and gathers source files then writes them into one text file. Each section is annotated with its path relative to your project root so you know where each snippet came from

installation

Install the tool globally in your system by running

cargo install sourcepile

After that you can run the tool from any folder using

sourcepile

You can also build and run locally with

cargo build
cargo run

usage

sourcepile [path] [output] [--all] [--ignore-gitignore] [--max-lines N]

Arguments and options:

• path: Folder to scan. Defaults to the current directory.
• output: Name or path of the final dump file. Defaults to sourcepile.txt in the current folder.
• --all: Include every file regardless of extension.
• --ignore-gitignore: Bypass gitignore rules.
• --max-lines N: Limit reading to at most N lines per file. Zero or omission gives no limit.
