GitHub Repository Downloader

From a GitHub Repository

From a Zip File

From a Folder

Select Folder:

The rules provided below will be used to exclude specific files and directories from the selected folder during processing. These rules are in addition to the default exclusions.

Each line should contain a single rule specifying a file or directory pattern to exclude. You can use wildcards (*) to match multiple files or directories.

For example, "*.log" will exclude all files with the ".log" extension, and "temp/" will exclude a directory named "temp" and its contents.

You can modify these rules or add additional ones to customize which files and directories are included in the processing.

Why was this tool created?

This tool was created to simplify the process of sharing context with advanced chatbots such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. By allowing users to compile and convert diverse digital content into a single text file, it facilitates easy context provision to chatbots for enhanced understanding and interaction with the material. You can find the source code for this site here.

Here are a few examples of how this tool can be useful when interacting with chatbots:

Share the source code of a project with the chatbot to discuss implementation details or get suggestions for improvements.
Provide the chatbot with a repository containing documentation or research papers to facilitate a conversation about the topics covered.
Use the downloaded text file to give the chatbot context about a specific topic or domain, enabling more informed and relevant responses.
