boltfetch

boltfetch

Recursively fetches all code files in the current directory, ignoring what's in .gitignore and .boltfetchignore,
then outputs them into a single Markdown file with line numbers.

Usage

npx boltfetch -o my-complete-source.md

If -o (or --output) is not provided, it will print to stdout.

Installation

You can run directly with npx:

npx boltfetch

Or install globally:

npm install -g boltfetch
boltfetch -o output.md

Ignoring Files

boltfetch supports two ways to ignore files:

• .gitignore - Respects your project's existing .gitignore patterns
• .boltfetchignore - Additional patterns specific to boltfetch

The .boltfetchignore file works exactly like .gitignore and is useful when you want to ignore files that aren't in your .gitignore. For example:

# .boltfetchignore
*.test.js
docs/
temp/
*.md

Both files support standard gitignore patterns including:

• Exact matches (file.txt)
• Directories (dir/)
• Wildcards (*.log)
• Negation (!important.log)
