flatten

Combine your entire codebase into a single Markdown file: https://github.com/brequet/flatten

When sharing code with LLMs or getting a quick overview of a project structure, I needed a simple way to bundle everything together. Flatten does exactly that - it walks through your project and outputs a single Markdown file with all your code.

How it works

Point it at a directory, and it collects all text files while respecting .gitignore rules. You can output either the full code dump or just a file tree. Custom include/exclude patterns let you focus on specific file types.

Installation

cargo install --git https://github.com/brequet/flatten

Pre-built binaries are available in the releases.

Usage

flatten [OPTIONS] [INPUTS]...

Flatten current directory:

flatten

Print to stdout instead of file:

flatten --print

Only include Rust files:

flatten -i "*.rs"
