Gitingest

Gitingest turns a Git repository into a single text digest of its code. It is made for pasting a codebase into a language model prompt.

You enter a repository address and Gitingest reads the files and returns them as one prompt-friendly text file. You can include or exclude files with patterns and filter files by size. The site also notes that you can replace the word hub with ingest in any GitHub address to get the same digest.

• Paste a GitHub address and get a text digest
• Replace hub with ingest in a GitHub URL
• Include or exclude files with glob patterns
• Filter files by size
• Also available as a Chrome extension and Python package

Developers who want to ask a language model about a project will find it quick. Reviewers and students who need a readable copy of a small repository can also use it.

Gitingest is open source under the MIT license. The code can be run on your own machine through the Python package. Large repositories may need file filters to keep the digest a useful size, and private repositories need the right access before they can be read.
