Gitingest turns a GitHub repository URL into a text digest suited to language model prompts.
About opensource
Gitingest turns a Git repository URL or local directory into a text digest containing file structure and file contents for language model prompts. The digest can be obtained by replacing 'hub' with 'ingest' in a GitHub URL, through the command line, or by importing it as a Python package.
It requires Python 3.8 or later, and a GitHub personal access token for private repositories. By default, files listed in .gitignore are skipped and command-line output is written to digest.txt.
Key features
- Converts Git repository URLs or local directories into text digests
- Outputs file structure, file contents, and token count
- Generates digest by replacing 'hub' with 'ingest' in GitHub URL
- Runs as CLI tool with file output or STDOUT piping
- Imports as Python package with synchronous and asynchronous use
- Processes private repositories using a GitHub personal access token
Best for: Developers who need to supply repository context to language models.
Good for

opensource FAQ
How do I create a digest from a GitHub repository URL?
Replace 'hub' with 'ingest' in the URL, or pass the URL to the command-line tool or Python ingest function.
How do I process a private repository?
Provide a GitHub personal access token with the --token option or the GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable.
Where does command-line output go by default?
It writes to digest.txt in the current directory unless --output specifies a file or - for STDOUT.
