This Python script allows you to download and process files from a GitHub repository, making it easier to share code with chatbots that have large context capabilities but don't automatically download code from GitHub.
- Download and process files from a GitHub repository
- Support for both public and private repositories
- Filter files based on programming language (Python or Go)
- Exclude certain directories, file types, and test files
- Remove comments and docstrings from Python source code (optional)
- Specify a branch or tag to download from (default: "master")
To download and process files from a public GitHub repository, run the following command:
python github2file.py https://github.com/username/repository
For a private repository, use the following format:
python github2file.py https://<USERNAME>:<GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN>@github.com/username/repository
Replace <USERNAME> with your GitHub username and <GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN> with your GitHub personal access token.
--lang: Specify the programming language of the repository. Choices: "go" or "python" (default: "python").--keep-comments: Keep comments and docstrings in the source code (only applicable for Python).--branch_or_tag: Specify the branch or tag of the repository to download (default: "master").
To download and process files from the Hugging Face Transformers repository, run:
python github2file.py https://github.com/huggingface/transformers
This will create a file named transformers_python.txt containing the combined Python source code from the repository.
To download and process files from a private repository, run:
python github2file.py https://<USERNAME>:<GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN>@github.com/username/private-repo
The script will create a file named repository_language.txt (e.g., transformers_python.txt) containing the combined source code from the specified repository. You can then share this file with chatbots like Claude for further analysis or discussion.
