SourceCodeSpitter

SourceCodeSpitter is a command-line tool that generates a single dump file containing all the source code files within a directory, excluding files specified in .gitignore and .spitignore. This tool is useful for quickly collecting source code snippets for sharing or documentation purposes.

Features

• Recursively traverses the specified directory to collect all source code files.
• Ignores files and directories specified in .gitignore and .spitignore.
• Generates a single dump file with source code snippets in the order of traversal.
• Preserves the file structure by including file names and relative directory paths as comments before each snippet.

Installation

npm install -g @flowdegree/spit-it
# or for local project only
npm install @flowdegree/spit-it

Usage

spitit [options] [directory]

Options

-c, --clear: Clear the console.
-i, --include <extensions>: Include only specific file types (comma-separated, e.g., .js,.css). Use this option to limit the extraction to certain file extensions.
-e, --exclude <extensions>: Exclude specific file types (comma-separated, e.g., .log,.txt). Use this option to exclude certain file extensions from the extraction.

Replace [directory] with the path to the directory you want to generate the source code dump for. If no directory is provided, it will default to the current working directory.

The tool will generate a source_code_dump.txt file in the same directory with all the source code snippets.

Examples

Generate a source code dump for the current working directory:

spitit .

Generate a source code dump for a specific directory:

source-code-spitter /path/to/directory

Extract only JavaScript and CSS files:

spitit --include .js,.css

Extract all files except log and text files:

spitit --exclude .log,.txt
