📘 About Gittxt¶
Gittxt is an open-source tool built to bridge the gap between GitHub repositories and Large Language Models (LLMs). It streamlines the process of extracting, structuring, and preparing code and documentation for AI consumption.
🧑💻 Meet the Developer¶
Created by Sandeep Paidipati, an early adopter of AI and open-source tools.
"As someone who started exploring LLMs the moment they became public in 2022, I quickly ran into a common bottleneck: getting code or documentation into the right format for different AI tools. Some LLMs prefer
.txt
, others.json
, and some won't even accept.md
. Sharing GitHub repos with an LLM often felt like a formatting nightmare.I realized that what I needed—and what many others probably needed—was a way to compile all the usable content from a GitHub repo into a clean, consistent format that any LLM could ingest.
That's how Gittxt was born. A utility that started as a simple script and evolved into a full-featured tool to help developers, researchers, and AI tinkerers extract the right text, fast."

Currently open to work and collaborations on AI, devtools, and open-source projects.
✨ Vision & Goals¶
Gittxt aims to become the go-to bridge between open-source code and LLMs:
- LLM Compatibility First: Tailor repository data for frictionless use with tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Ollama.
- One File, Many Uses: Compile all relevant content into
.txt
,.json
, or.md
—whichever works best with your AI tool. - Empower Developers: Save hours of manual prep with automated filters, formatters, and bundlers.
- Promote OSS & Reusability: Make it easy to share GitHub projects with AI agents, even in low-resource or free-tier environments.
🚀 What Gittxt Does¶
- 🔍 Scans GitHub or local repositories
- 📁 Filters and classifies files (textual, non-textual, skipped)
- 🧠 Prepares structured outputs for LLM ingestion
- 💬 Supports AI summaries & chat with OpenAI/Ollama models
- 📦 Bundles everything into a ZIP for portability
Supports:
- CLI tools
- Plugins (FastAPI, Streamlit UI)
- Reverse engineering from .txt
, .json
, or .md
