SYNOPSIS

repomix [-o file] [--include pattern] [--ignore pattern] [path]

DESCRIPTION

repomix packs an entire code repository into a single text file optimized for use as context in AI language model conversations. It concatenates source files with clear file boundary markers and a directory tree summary, making it easy for LLMs to understand the full structure and content of a codebase.
The tool automatically respects .gitignore rules to skip irrelevant files like dependencies and build artifacts. Include and exclude patterns provide fine-grained control over which files are packed. Built-in token counting estimates how much of an LLM's context window the output will consume, helping users stay within model limits.
Output formats include plain text, XML, and Markdown, each with clear file delimiters and optional metadata headers. The tool can be configured via a repomix.config.json file for consistent usage across a project.
