Repopack Py: Export repository context for AI tools

Understand the project

Practical overview

Use it before giving an AI tool codebase context when a single file is more convenient than sharing repository files individually.

Developers who want to prepare repository contents for an AI-assisted coding or analysis task.
Users who need to control which files are included or how the generated context is formatted.

Package repository files into one artifact for manual use with an AI tool.
Exclude additional file patterns, select an output path, add line numbers, or choose plain-text or XML output.

Before you choose

The README documents installation with pip and use from the command line. The repository is public and licensed under MIT.

The project creates a context artifact; the user supplies that file to an AI tool separately.
The README lists configurable output paths, extra ignore patterns, configuration files, line numbers and plain or XML styles.
The README gives two different default output filenames.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Prepare one text file from a repository for use as context with an AI tool.

Install the package with the command below.
Documented command
```
pip install repopack
```
Run repopack path/to/your/repository.
Find the generated file in the current directory.

A packed repository file is generated for later use with an LLM or another AI tool.

The README gives different default output filenames in its usage description and output-option list.
The documented workflow creates the context file; it does not submit the file to an AI service.
