Convert folder file contents to text for use with large language models like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc.

To use Folder2Txt, simply run the following command with two parameters:

node folder2txt.js folder=<folder path> output=<output path>

Example:

node folder2txt.js folder=/c/git/folder2txt/ output=/c/public/output.txt

This will recursively process all files in the specified folder and its subfolders, writing the content to the specified output file.

By default, Folder2Txt uses English for its output messages. To switch to Spanish, add the lang=es parameter to the command:

node folder2txt.js folder=<folder path> output=<output path> lang=es

node folder2txt.js folder=/c/git/folder2txt/ output=/c/public/out2.txt lang=es

You can specify folders and files to ignore during processing by editing the ignore.json file. Use the ignore.example.json file as a template for adding entries.

{
  "folders": ["node_modules", ".git"],
  "files": [".DS_Store"]
}

• folder: Path to the folder to be processed.
• output: Path to the output file where the content will be written.
• lang: (Optional) Language for output messages (default is English).

node folder2txt.js folder=/c/git/folder2txt/ output=/c/public/output.txt

node folder2txt.js folder=/c/git/folder2txt/ output=/c/public/out2.txt lang=es
