Folder2text - code context for LLM

llmcodebox 1 min read

I made a tool, folder2text.

🤖You are using a LLM to write or help with your code, this is gonna be a very important tool for you.

Most LLM like OpenAI’s chatGPT(4,4o) or claude (3,3.5) has a limited context window. When you are writing a lot of code, it’s nearly impossible to provide proper context without copying all of your code into the LLM chatbox. And copy pasting also has limitations due to token size.

folder2text turns all of your code from a specific folder into one .txt file. Its properly formatted with the exact information your AI friend need to understand the entire context of your project. And it also makes sure only the code you wrote is a part of it, packages and vendor files are ignored.

🌐 It has already been published on NPM,

https://github.com/oritromax/folder2text

https://www.npmjs.com/package/folder2text

npm install -g folder2text

To run the tool, simply point towards your folder

folder2text /path/to/your/folder

Hope it helps in your AI-fueled development.
