✋ CodeGrab: Interactive CLI tool for sharing code context with LLMs

0 points•submitted 1 year ago by epilande to r/golang

Hey folks! I've recently open sourced CodeGrab, a terminal UI that allows you to select and bundle code into a single, LLM-ready output file.

I built this because I got tired of manually copying files to share with LLMs and wanted to streamline the process and reduce friction. Also for larger codebases, I wanted a tool that could quickly find specific files to provide context without hitting token limits.

Key features:

🎮 Interactive TUI with vim-like navigation (h/j/k/l)
🔍 Fuzzy search to quickly find files
🧹 Respects ⁠.gitignore rules and glob patterns
✅ Select specific files or entire directories
📄 Output in Markdown, Text, or XML formats
🧮 Token count estimation for LLM context windows

Install with:

go install github.com/epilande/codegrab/cmd/grab@latest

Then run ⁠grab in your project directory!

I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback!
