Building the Binary

To compile CodeHarvester into a standalone binary for easy distribution, use PyInstaller:

pyinstaller main.spec
# The binary will be located in the `dist` directory

Installation Guide

Windows

Compile the binary:
```
pyinstaller main.spec
```
Create a directory to store the binary:

Navigate to the dist directory and move the main directory to a desired location, for example:
```
mkdir "C:\Program Files\CodeHarvester"
move dist\main "C:\Program Files\CodeHarvester"
```
Add the directory to your PATH:
- Open the Start Search, type in "env", and select "Edit the system environment variables".
- In the System Properties window, click on the "Environment Variables" button.
- In the Environment Variables window, find the "Path" variable in the "System variables" section and select it. Click on the "Edit" button.
- In the Edit Environment Variable window, click on "New" and add the path to the directory where you moved main.exe. For example, C:\Program Files\CodeHarvester.
- Click "OK" to close all the windows.

Now, you can run codeharvester from any path in the terminal by simply typing:

codeharvester

Linux

Compile the binary:
```
pyinstaller main.spec
```

Create a directory to store the binary:

sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/codeharvester
sudo cp -r ./dist/main/* /usr/local/codeharvester/

Create a script to run the binary:

sudo tee /usr/local/bin/codeharvester <<'EOF'
#!/bin/bash
/usr/local/codeharvester/main "$@"
EOF

Give execution permissions to the script:

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/codeharvester

Now, you can run codeharvester from any path in the terminal by simply typing:

codeharvester

macOS

Compile the binary:
```
pyinstaller main.spec
```

Create a directory to store the binary:

sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/codeharvester
sudo cp -r ./dist/main/* /usr/local/codeharvester/

Create a script to run the binary:

sudo tee /usr/local/bin/codeharvester <<'EOF'
#!/bin/bash
/usr/local/codeharvester/main "$@"
EOF

Give execution permissions to the script:

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/codeharvester

Now, you can run codeharvester from any path in the terminal by simply typing:

codeharvester

Uninstallation Guide

Windows (Uninstallation)

Remove the directory from your PATH:
- Open the Start Search, type in "env", and select "Edit the system environment variables".
- In the System Properties window, click on the "Environment Variables" button.
- In the Environment Variables window, find the "Path" variable in the "System variables" section and select it. Click on the "Edit" button.
- In the Edit Environment Variable window, select the path to the directory where you moved main.exe (e.g., C:\Program Files\CodeHarvester) and click on "Delete".
- Click "OK" to close all the windows.

Delete the directory containing main.exe:

rmdir /S /Q "C:\Program Files\CodeHarvester"

Linux (Uninstallation)

Remove the binary:
```
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/codeharvester
```
Delete the directory containing the binary:
```
sudo rm -r /usr/local/codeharvester
```

macOS (Uninstallation)

Remove the binary:
```
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/codeharvester
```
Delete the directory containing the binary:
```
sudo rm -r /usr/local/codeharvester
```

This guide provides detailed steps for compiling, installing, and uninstalling codeharvester on Windows, Linux, and macOS. By following these steps, you can ensure that the software is correctly set up and can be easily removed if necessary.

Output example

Running the command:

python3 src/main.py /home/root/code/tmp/is-emoji --extensions js yml --exclude-dirs .git

The output consists of all files present in the root folder "is-emoji", except for the .git folder and including all files with .js .yml extension.

Running Tests

To run the end-to-end tests, use:

python3 test/e2e.py

Alternatives

For quick tasks, you might use terminal commands like find and tree:

Aggregate files:

find /path/to/directory -name '*.py' -print0 | xargs -0 cat > combined_files.txt

Generate a directory tree:

tree /path/to/directory
