I found this tool (repo2file) helpful for my workflows - quickly giving context for questions to my local LLM about my working (small) repo in the terminal. Until I saw this post, I wasn't aware of any of those.

What makes his better? Since you're asking, I tried these and here's my verdict:

- [files-to-prompt](https://github.com/simonw/files-to-prompt) (from the GOAT simonw) --> There's no option to specify files to include, must work backwards with ignore option

- [code2prompt](https://github.com/mufeedvh/code2prompt) --> It always puts the output to the paste buffer even if you specify output file

- https://gh-repo-dl.cottonash.com/ --> There's no CLI

- [1filellm](https://github.com/jimmc414/1filellm) --> Many dependencies and complicated setup(have to setup GitHub access token which I've never done)

- [repopack](https://github.com/yamadashy/repopack) - [ingest](https://github.com/sammcj/ingest) --> haven't tried these yet, but they actually look promising...
