Concatenate a directory full of files into a single prompt for use with LLMs
## Installation
Install this tool using `pip`:
```bash
pip install files-to-prompt
```
## Usage
To use `files-to-prompt`, provide the path to one or more files or directories you want to process:
```bash
files-to-prompt path/to/file_or_directory [path/to/another/file_or_directory ...]
```
This will output the contents of every file, with each file preceded by its relative path and separated by `---`.
### Options
- `--include-hidden`: Include files and folders starting with `.` (hidden files and directories).
```bash
files-to-prompt path/to/directory --include-hidden
```
- `--ignore-gitignore`: Ignore `.gitignore` files and include all files.
```bash
files-to-prompt path/to/directory --ignore-gitignore
```
- `--ignore <pattern>`: Specify one or more patterns to ignore. Can be used multiple times.
```bash
files-to-prompt path/to/directory --ignore "*.log" --ignore "temp*"
```
### Example
Suppose you have a directory structure like this:
```
my_directory/
├── file1.txt
├── file2.txt
├── .hidden_file.txt
├── temp.log
└── subdirectory/
└── file3.txt
```
Running `files-to-prompt my_directory` will output:
```
my_directory/file1.txt
---
Contents of file1.txt
---
my_directory/file2.txt
---
Contents of file2.txt
---
my_directory/subdirectory/file3.txt
---
Contents of file3.txt
---
```
If you run `files-to-prompt my_directory --include-hidden`, the output will also include `.hidden_file.txt`:
```
my_directory/.hidden_file.txt
---
Contents of .hidden_file.txt
---
...
```
If you run `files-to-prompt my_directory --ignore "*.log"`, the output will exclude `temp.log`:
```
my_directory/file1.txt
---
Contents of file1.txt
---
my_directory/file2.txt
---
Contents of file2.txt
---
my_directory/subdirectory/file3.txt
---
Contents of file3.txt
---
```
## Development
To contribute to this tool, first checkout the code. Then create a new virtual environment:
```bash
cd files-to-prompt
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
```
Now install the dependencies and test dependencies:
```bash
pip install -e '.[test]'
```
To run the tests:
```bash
pytest
```
