git2gpt is a command-line utility that converts a Git repository to text for loading into ChatGPT and other NLP models. The output text file represents the Git repository in a structured format. You can also add a .gptignore file to your repos to have git2gpt ignore certain files. The text is prefixed with a preamble that explains to the AI what the text is:

The following text is a Git repository with code. The structure of the text are sections that begin with ----, followed by a single line containing the file path and file name, followed by a variable amount of lines containing the file contents. The text representing the Git repository ends when the symbols --END-- are encounted. Any further text beyond --END-- are meant to be interpreted as instructions using the aforementioned Git repository as context.

First, make sure you have the Go programming language installed on your system. You can download it from the official Go website.

To install the git2gpt utility, run the following command:

go install github.com/chand1012/git2gpt@latest

This command will download and install the git2gpt binary to your $GOPATH/bin directory. Make sure your $GOPATH/bin is included in your $PATH to use the git2gpt command.

To use the git2gpt utility, run the following command:

git2gpt [flags] /path/to/git/repository

By default, your .git directory and your .gitignore files are ignored. Any files in your .gitignore are also skipped. If you want to change this behavior, you should add a .gptignore file to your repository. The .gptignore file should contain a list of files and directories to ignore, one per line. The .gptignore file should be in the same directory as your .gitignore file. Please note that this overwrites the default ignore list, so you should include the default ignore list in your .gptignore file if you want to keep it.

• -p, --preamble: Path to a text file containing a preamble to include at the beginning of the output file.
• -o, --output: Path to the output file. If not specified, will print to standard output.
• -e, --estimate: Estimate the tokens of the output file. If not specified, does not estimate.
• -j, --json: Output to JSON rather than plain text. Use with -o to specify the output file.
• -i, --ignore: Path to the .gptignore file. If not specified, will look for a .gptignore file in the same directory as the .gitignore file.
• -g, --ignore-gitignore: Ignore the .gitignore file.
• -s, --scrub-comments: Remove comments from the output file to save tokens.
