CodeTxt: The Open-Source Tool That Lets AI Fully Understand Your Codebase

Have you ever thought about letting an AI fully understand and interact with your entire codebase?

That’s exactly why I built an open-source tool called CodeTxt — and it could completely change how you collaborate with AI!

⚡ What is CodeTxt?

It’s an open-source CLI tool that turns any code project (from your local machine or GitHub) into a clean, structured text file — ready to be understood by LLMs like:

ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Mistral, Mixtral, LLaMA… and more!

🎯 What can you use it for?

✅ Feed your full codebase to an AI assistant
✅ Train an AI model on your coding style
✅ Let ChatGPT auto-generate documentation
✅ Request refactoring, debugging, or code analysis
✅ Learn step-by-step from any public GitHub repo
✅ Prepare your project for AI-based search or static indexing

⚙️ It’s super easy to get started:

Make sure Node.js is installed

Install the tool globally:
npm install -g codetxt

Try analyzing any project, like React:
codetxt https://github.com/facebook/react

📎 GitHub Repository:

🌟 If you find it useful, give it a ⭐️ and share your feedback —
every bit of support helps me make it better!
