RepoToTextForLLMs

Automates the analysis of GitHub repositories specifically tailored for usage with large context LLMs. This Python script efficiently fetches README files, repository structure, and non-binary file contents. Additionally, it provides structured outputs complete with pre-formatted prompts to guide further analysis of the repository's content.

Features

• README Retrieval: Automatically extracts the content of README.md to provide an initial insight into the repository.
• Structured Repository Traversal: Maps out the repository's structure through an iterative traversal method, ensuring thorough coverage without the limitations of recursion.
• Selective Content Extraction: Retrieves text contents from files, intelligently skipping over binary files to streamline the analysis process.
