gogpt is a command-line tool written in Go that enables you to export the structure and content of a Git repository into a text format. This format is tailored for consumption by AI language models, making it ideal for tasks like automated code reviews, documentation generation, or code analysis. The tool offers a range of customization options to include or exclude specific file types, respect .gitignore rules, and handle large files appropriately.

• Selective File Inclusion: Use system flags to specify which programming languages' files should be included in the export.
• .gitignore Compliance: Optionally ignore files listed in the project's .gitignore files.
• Large File Management: Exclude large files from the output, providing warnings with details about the excluded files.
• Automatic Language Detection: When no specific languages are provided, automatically detect the programming languages used in the repository.
• Human-Readable Logs: Utilize Zerolog to provide styled, human-readable logging, with default behavior tailored for both terminal and non-terminal outputs.

To build the gogpt CLI tool, navigate to the root of the project and run:

go build -o gogpt ./cmd/gogpt

This will generate an executable named gogpt in the root directory.

You can download the pre-built binary for Linux (amd64) using curl and make it executable with the following commands:

sudo curl -L https://github.com/daemonp/gogpt/releases/download/v1/gogpt_linux_amd64 -o /usr/local/bin/gogpt
sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/gogpt

To verify the installation, run:

gogpt --version

After installing gogpt, you can run the tool with various options:

gogpt [options]

• -f: Specify the output file path (default: stdout).
• -i: Ignore files listed in .gitignore.
• -l: Comma-separated list of languages to include (e.g., go,js,md).
• --max-tokens: Maximum number of tokens per file (default: 1000).
• -v: Enable verbose logging.

1. Basic Usage

   gogpt -l go,js -f output.txt

   gogpt -l go,js | wl-copy

2. Ignore Files in .gitignore:

   gogpt -l go,js -i

3. Automatic Language Detection:

   gogpt

By default, logs are output in a human-readable format to stderr. If the output is being piped, logs are adjusted for non-terminal environments.
