GitIngest is a tool that converts any Git repository into a text summary appropriate for large language models (LLMs). Its key advantage lies in providing easily understandable code context, optimized output formats for LLM prompts, and statistics such as file and directory structure, extraction size, and token counts. GitIngest can be operated as a command-line tool or imported as a Python package. It serves as a powerful aid for developers and researchers, facilitating their understanding and analysis of codebases, particularly in the realms of natural language processing and machine learning.
