file-concat-tool

File Concat Tool

Automated code context generator for AI prompting. Recursively combines source files (.ts, .tsx, .js, .jsx, .html, .css, .scss) while ignoring common non-source directories and files, and formats console output with colors.

Current Limitations

Supported File Types: .ts, .tsx, .js, .jsx, .html, .css, .scss
Excluded Patterns:

• node_modules directory
• Files containing "config" in name
• Test directories (__tests__) and files (*.test.*)
• Output file automatically added to Git exclude (.git/info/exclude)

Future updates may include additional file types and customization options.

Motivation

Tired of manually copying code for AI prompts? This tool solves:

• Automatic Git-exclude management
• Smart test file exclusion
• Recursive directory scanning
• Clean, colored console output

Get complete code context with one command!

Installation

Install globally via npm:

npm install -g file-concat-tool

Usage

1. Navigate to your project:

   cd /path/to/your/project

2. Run the tool:

   file-concat

Output: Creates source_files_content.txt with:

• Tool credit header
• Relative file paths
• File contents separated by clear markers
• Colored console log of processed files
• Automatic Git exclude update

File Processing Rules

Status	Pattern	Examples	Action Taken
	All supported extensions	index.ts, style.scss	Included in output
	node_modules directory	Any nested dependency	Skipped entirely
	Files containing "config"	config.ts, app.config.js	Excluded from processing
	Test-related files	*.test.ts, __tests__	Ignored during scan
	Existing Git exclude entry	.git/info/exclude	Appended or already present

Example Output

=== File: src/index.ts ===
import App from './App';

=== File: src/App.tsx ===
export default function App() { ... }

=== File: src/styles/main.scss ===
body { margin: 0; }
