Installing the command-line executable

Assuming you have Rust/Cargo installed, run this command in a terminal:

cargo install dumpcode

It will make the dumpcode command available in your PATH if you've allowed the PATH to be modified when installing Rust. cargo uninstall dumpcode uninstalls.

Readme

dumpcode

dumpcode is a simple utility that outputs your project's files in an LLM-friendly format. It generates a tree view of your project structure and then includes the file contents with syntax highlighting. The output can be routed to your clipboard or to stdout.

features

generates a tree view of your project directory
dumps file contents with language detection
supports excluding specified directories
optionally copies output to clipboard
uses rayon for fast, parallel file processing

usage

run dump from the terminal:

cargo run -- [directory]

if no directory is provided, dump uses the current directory.

command line options:

-c, --clipboard: copy output to clipboard instead of stdout
-e, --extensions: comma-separated file extensions to include
-s, --max-size: maximum file size in kb to include (default: 100)
-x, --exclude: comma-separated directories to exclude
--max-files: maximum number of files to include (default: 1000)

installation

clone the repo.
run cargo build --release
run the binary from ./target/release/dump

note

dump was built with performance in mind and leverages rayon for parallel file scanning.
