README.md

git2txt

Convert all files in git repository to .txt files. This is useful for training LLMs on your codebase.

How to Use

1. Create new .env file by copying example.env

cp example.env .env

2. Add necessary fields. The default fields are good to start with.

GIT_PROJECT_DIRECTORY=/path/to/git/repo
IGNORE_FILES=.env,package-lock.json
IGNORE_DIRS=.git,.vscode,node_modules
SAVE_DIRECTORY=training_data
SKIP_EMPTY_FILES=true

3. Install dependencies. Using a virtual environment is recommended.

python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Run program

python main.py

5. You'll see your data files in the training_data/ directory. This will be different if you changed the path via SAVE_DIRECTORY in .env file.

Notes

• This program requires Python version 3.6 or later. It uses the f-string formatting technique introduced in Python 3.6.
