Overview

Gitingest is a simple tool designed to enhance your workflow when dealing with GitHub repositories. By replacing “hub” with “ingest” in any GitHub URL, you can easily obtain a prompt-friendly extract of a codebase. This tool aims to streamline the process of code ingestion, making it easier for developers and teams to access the information they need quickly.

How It Works

Gitingest operates by intercepting standard GitHub URLs. It modifies the URL to replace “hub” with “ingest,” allowing you to fetch a structured extract of the codebase. This method provides a clear, concise view of the code, making it easier to analyze and understand the project’s structure.

Key Features
