| 6 | + <strong>An interactive CLI tool for selecting and bundling code into a single, LLM-ready output file.</strong> |
| 7 | +</p> |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +## ❓ Why? |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +When working with LLMs, sharing code context is essential for getting accurate responses. However, |
| 12 | +manually copying files or creating code snippets is tedious. CodeGrab streamlines this process by |
| 13 | +providing a clean Terminal UI (TUI), alongside a versatile command-line interface (CLI). This allows |
| 14 | +you to easily select files from your project, generate well-formatted output, and copy it directly |
| 15 | +to your clipboard, ready for LLM processing. |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +## ✨ Features |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +- 🎮 **Interactive Mode**: Navigate your project structure with vim-like keybindings in a |
| 20 | + TUI environment |
| 21 | +- 🧹 **Filtering Options**: Respect `.gitignore` rules, handle hidden files, and apply customizable glob |
| 22 | + patterns |
| 23 | +- 🔍 **Fuzzy Search**: Quickly find files across your project |
| 24 | +- ✅ **File Selection**: Toggle files or entire directories (with child items) for inclusion or exclusion |
| 25 | +- 📄 **Multiple Output Formats**: Generate Markdown, Plain Text, or XML output |
| 26 | +- ⏳ **Temp File**: Generate the output file in your system's temporary directory |
| 27 | +- 📋 **Clipboard Integration**: Copy content or output file directly to your clipboard |
| 28 | +- 🌲 **Directory Tree View**: Display a tree-style view of your project structure |
| 29 | +- 🧮 **Token Estimation**: Get estimated token count for LLM context windows |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +## 📦 Installation |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +```sh |
| 34 | +go install github.com/epilande/codegrab/cmd/grab@latest |
| 35 | +``` |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +Or build from source: |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +```sh |
| 40 | +git clone https://github.com/epilande/codegrab |
| 41 | +cd codegrab |
| 42 | +go build ./cmd/grab |
| 43 | +``` |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +Then move the binary to your `PATH` |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +## 🚀 Quick Start |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +1. Go to your project directory and run: |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | + ```sh |
| 52 | + grab |
| 53 | + ``` |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +2. Navigate with <kbd>h</kbd>/<kbd>j</kbd>/<kbd>k</kbd>/<kbd>l</kbd> |
| 56 | +3. Select files using the <kbd>Space</kbd> or <kbd>Tab</kbd> key |
| 57 | +4. Press <kbd>g</kbd> to generate output file or <kbd>y</kbd> to copy contents to clipboard |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +CodeGrab will generate `codegrab-output.md` in your current working directory (on macOS this file is automatically copied to your clipboard), which you can immediately send to an AI assistant for better context-aware coding assistance. |
| 60 | + |
