# Gitingest

> Turn any Git repository into a prompt-friendly text digest for LLMs.

Gitingest converts any public or private GitHub repository into a single, clean text digest containing directory structures and file contents. It eliminates the manual work of cloning and aggregating code to feed into ChatGPT, Claude, or other language models. You can quickly ingest any repo by simply changing 'github.com' to 'gitingest.com' in the URL.

## Why it was saved

- [@Sumanth_077, 22 February 2025](https://x.com/Sumanth_077/status/1893309751502553540): Removes the friction of copying a codebase for LLMs: no cloning, no combining files by hand. Type a repo, get a text ready to paste straight into ChatGPT or any LLM, as demoed with ollama/ollama.
