Show HN: Copy Folder to ChatGPT in 0.6s – OpenRepoPrompt

9 points

a year ago

Over this past month I had the idea to build a 100% open-source MIT-licensed tool to simplify sharing code with LLMs, without the vendor lock-in you get from most SDKs. Right now, it’s way too hard to export your data or work freely with models like o1 PRO or Grok 3, especially since they don’t even have API access.

So I built OpenRepoPrompt, an open-source tool from wildberry-source that serializes files and folders into XML for LLMs. I coded/designed from 12PM -> 11PM on Saturday and 8AM -> 11PM on Sunday. There are still tons of features missing (I'm working on better file filtering next!) but I think it's reached that - buzzword alert! - MVP stage where I want to see if anyone's actually going to use the darn thing.

Here's the OpenPrompt repo: https://github.com/wildberry-source/open-repoprompt. Here are some screenshots I took while making it: https://github.com/wildberry-source/open-repoprompt/raw/main....

I think it has some potential. What do you guys think?
