Automated code context generator for AI prompting. Recursively combines source files (.ts, .tsx, .js, .jsx, .html, .css, .scss) while ignoring common non-source directories and files, and formats console output with colors.

🚨 Current Limitations

Supported File Types: .ts, .tsx, .js, .jsx, .html, .css, .scss
Excluded Patterns:

  • node_modules directory
  • Files containing "config" in name
  • Test directories (__tests__) and files (*.test.*)
  • Output file automatically added to Git exclude (.git/info/exclude)

Future updates may include additional file types and customization options.

💡 Motivation

Tired of manually copying code for AI prompts? This tool solves:

  • Automatic Git-exclude management 🔒
  • Smart test file exclusion 🧪
  • Recursive directory scanning 🔍
  • Clean, colored console output 📄

Get complete code context with one command!

🛠 Installation

Install globally via npm:

npm install -g file-concat-tool

🚦 Usage

  1. Navigate to your project:
    cd /path/to/your/project
  2. Run the tool:
    file-concat

Output: Creates source_files_content.txt with:

  • Tool credit header
  • Relative file paths
  • File contents separated by clear markers
  • Colored console log of processed files
  • Automatic Git exclude update

📁 File Processing Rules

Status Pattern Examples Action Taken
All supported extensions index.ts, style.scss Included in output
🚫 node_modules directory Any nested dependency Skipped entirely
🚫 Files containing "config" config.ts, app.config.js Excluded from processing
🚫 Test-related files *.test.ts, __tests__ Ignored during scan
⚠️ Existing Git exclude entry .git/info/exclude Appended or already present

🌟 Example Output

=== File: src/index.ts ===
import App from './App';

=== File: src/App.tsx ===
export default function App() { ... }

=== File: src/styles/main.scss ===
body { margin: 0; }
