- ## ✨ Why make-folder-txt?
76
-
77
- Ever needed to share your entire project with ChatGPT, Claude, or a teammate — but copy-pasting every file one by one is painful? **make-folder-txt** solves that in one command.
78
-
79
- - ✅ Run it from any project directory — no arguments needed
80
- - ✅ Generates a clean folder tree + every file's content
81
- - ✅ Automatically skips `node_modules`, binaries, and junk files
82
- - ✅ Zero dependencies — pure Node.js
83
- - ✅ Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux
84

87
- ## 📦 Installation
88
-
89
- Install globally once, use anywhere:
90
-
91
- ```bash
92
- npm install -g make-folder-txt
93
- ```
94
-
95

96
-
97
- ## 🚀 Usage
98
-
99
- Navigate into your project folder and run:
100
-
101
- ```bash
102
- cd my-project
103
- make-folder-txt
104
- ```
105
-
106
- That's it. A `my-project.txt` file will be created in the same directory.
107
-
108
- Ignore specific folders/files by name:
109
-
110
- ```bash
111
- make-folder-txt --ignore-folder examples extensions docs
112
- make-folder-txt --ignore-folder examples extensions "docs and explaination"
113
- make-folder-txt --ignore-folder examples extensions docs --ignore-file LICENSE
114
- make-folder-txt --ignore-file .env .env.local secrets.txt
115
- ```
116
-
117
- Use a `.txtignore` file (works like `.gitignore`):
118
-
119
- ```bash
120
- # Create a .txtignore file in your project root
121
- echo "node_modules/" > .txtignore
122
- echo "*.log" >> .txtignore
123
- echo ".env" >> .txtignore
124
- echo "coverage/" >> .txtignore
125
-
126
- # The tool will automatically read and respect .txtignore patterns
127
- make-folder-txt
128
- ```
129
-
130
- The `.txtignore` file supports:
131
- - File and folder names (one per line)
132
- - Wildcard patterns (`*.log`, `temp-*`)
133
- - Comments (lines starting with `#`)
134
- - Folder patterns with trailing slash (`docs/`)
135
-
136
- Include only specific folders/files by name (everything else is ignored):
137
-
138
- ```bash
139
- make-folder-txt --only-folder src docs
140
- make-folder-txt --only-file package.json README.md
141
- make-folder-txt --only-folder src --only-file package.json
142
- ```

155
-
156
- **On macOS / Linux:**
157
-
158
- ```bash
159
- cd /home/user/projects/my-app
160
- make-folder-txt
161
- # → my-app.txt created

221
-
222
- | Category | Details |
223
- | --------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
224
- | 📁 Folders | `node_modules`, `.git`, `.next`, `dist`, `build`, `.cache` |
225
- | 🖼️ Binary files | Images (`.png`, `.jpg`, `.gif`...), fonts, videos, executables |
226
- | 📦 Archives | `.zip`, `.tar`, `.gz`, `.rar`, `.7z` |
227
- | 🔤 Font files | `.woff`, `.woff2`, `.ttf`, `.eot`, `.otf` |
228
- | 📋 Lock files | `package-lock.json`, `yarn.lock` |
229
- | 📏 Large files | Any file over **500 KB** |
230
- | 🗑️ System files | `.DS_Store`, `Thumbs.db`, `desktop.ini` |
231
- | 📄 Output file | The generated `foldername.txt` file (to avoid infinite loops) |
232
- | 📝 .txtignore | Any files/folders specified in `.txtignore` file |
233
-
234
- Binary and skipped files are noted in the output as `[binary / skipped]` so you always know what was omitted.
