Repository Copier

Repository Copier helps you split your repository code into smaller parts, each within a customizable character limit. This is ideal for initializing chat contexts with Large Language Models (LLMs) without running into "message too long" errors.

Usage

Method 1

  1. Press Ctrl+Shift+P (or Cmd+Shift+P on macOS) to open the Command Palette.
  2. Type "Repository Copier" and select the command.

Method 2

  1. Hold Ctrl or Cmd and click on the files or folders you need to copy.
  2. Right-click and select "Repository Copier".

Features

  • Split selected files into parts, each within a configurable character limit while keeping individual file content complete in each part.
  • If a file's character count exceeds the limit, it will be its own part.
  • Configurable ignore options using .gitignore, .repoignore, or extension settings.
  • Provide an estimation of token count (4 bytes = 1 token).
  • Customize the maximum depth for directory traversal.
  • Stop the loading process if needed.
  • Activate the extension via the command palette or by right-clicking on files or folders.
  • Support for repositories with a large number of files and folders.

Extension Settings

  • repo-copier.ignorePattern: List of files or folders to exclude when displaying the repository structure.
  • repo-copier.ignoreOption: Default options for ignoring specific files or folders in the repository structure.
    • Use extension ignore pattern: Enable or disable the use of the ignore pattern defined in the extension settings (ignorePattern).
    • Use .gitignore: Enable or disable the use of the .gitignore file located in the workspace directory.
    • Use .repoignore: Enable or disable the use of the .repoignore file located in the workspace directory.
    • Ignore binary file: Enable or disable ignoring binary files such as videos, images, executables, etc.
  • repo-copier.maxDepth: Default maximum depth to traverse in the directory structure.
  • repo-copier.maxCharactersPerPart: Default maximum number of characters allowed per prompt for various LLM models.
  • repo-copier.prompt: Default prompt to be added above each part. Use placeholders ${PART_INDEX} and ${TOTAL_PARTS} to dynamically insert the part index and total number of parts.

.repoignore

Create a .repoignore file in the root of your repository to specify files and directories to exclude. The syntax is similar to .gitignore.

Example .repoignore:

node_modules
*.log
.vscode
