Quick Start
pip install gitingestDetailed Introduction
Gitingest is a versatile tool designed to bridge the gap between code repositories and Large Language Models. It intelligently extracts relevant code context from GitHub URLs or local directories, then processes and formats this information into a concise, LLM-optimized text digest. This enables developers and AI engineers to easily feed entire codebases or specific parts into LLMs for tasks such as code analysis, explanation, refactoring, or generating new code, significantly streamlining AI-assisted development workflows.
