Code-Preloader for ChatGPT

Code-Preloader is a specialized tool designed to streamline the process of working with ChatGPT on coding projects. It preloads and concatenates files from a specified directory, allowing for the seamless integration of customized prompts. This tool is ideal for those who seek an alternative to tools like GitHub Copilot, enabling a more efficient and tailored interaction with ChatGPT.

Features

Preload and concatenate files from a given directory.
Customizable header and footer prompts for ChatGPT.
Simple command-line interface for easy operation.

Limitations

Note: Note: This tool is optimized for smaller codebases. For larger repositories, performance may not be optimal due to processing constraints and the nature of interactions with ChatGPT.

Examples

Basic Use Case

To preload all files in the src directory and output to result.txt, while ignoring the git the bin directory, and the result file itself:

./bin/code-preloader -o result.txt -i .git -i result.txt -i bin/ src

Advanced Use Case

To preload all files in the src directory and output to clipboard, prepending and appending prompts, while ignoring the git the bin directory, and the result file itself:

./bin/code-preloader \
    -o result.txt \
    -i .git -i bin/ -i result.txt -i prompts \
    --header-prompt prompts/header-context.txt \
    --footer-prompt prompts/footer-write-readme.txt \
    src \
    | xclip -selection clipboard -i
