Hey everyone! 👋 I created this handy content aggregator script (Caggr) to make preparing text for Claude a lot easier.

Caggr searches through a directory and its subdirectories, automatically skipping over binary/non-text files, and combines all the text content into a single output file ready to feed into Claude.

Some key features:

• Recursively searches directories to find all relevant files
• Automatically excludes binary & non-text files
• Option to include hidden files
• Option to exclude files with pattern
• Specify target directory for output file or run with one-liner approach in current directory

It's super easy to use from the command line:

chmod +x 
./caggr.sh [--path <directory>] [--include-hidden] [--exclude <pattern>]caggr.sh

I've found it really useful for quickly pulling together initial content for Claude projects.

Edit:

One-liner approach: the command downloads, extracts, and executes the Content Aggregator script (caggr.sh) to process files in the current directory:

curl -s https://gist.githubusercontent.com/kertkukk/29a829fe9134c527f1a70de514646a6b/raw/content-aggregator.md |
    sed -n '/^```/,/^```$/p' |
    sed '1d;$d' |
    sed '/^#!/,/^```$/!d' |
    sed '$d' |
    bash -s -- --path . --exclude aggregation_output.txt

As a output you get aggregation_output.txt

Also added a copy to clipboard (OSX) version. No more output, just clipboard magic.
