Gitingest
Gitingest is a web tool that turns any Git repository into a simple text digest of its codebase.
Gitingest turns any Git repository into a simple text digest of its codebase. This is useful for feeding a codebase into any large language model. Users can ingest repositories, include or exclude specific files, and filter by file size up to 50kB. It also supports private repositories. The tool can be used directly on the web by replacing 'hub' with 'ingest' in any GitHub URL, or via a Chrome extension and a Python package.
