FileConcat

Quick start

You can be looking at a tokenised, filtered project bundle in under a minute. The two paths below cover almost every use.

Path 1: local files

  1. Open fileconcat.com.
  2. Drop a folder, files, or an archive (zip, 7z, rar, tar and the others it unpacks) onto the drop zone on the landing page, or use Browse files / Browse folder. Archives are unpacked automatically and their contents flow through the same filtering.
  3. FileConcat narrates the work (reading your files, skipping noise, counting tokens) and then lands on the result screen, "Your bundle is ready." The screen shows the files combined, the token count, and how much noise was skipped.
  4. Click Copy or Download to take the output with you. Either way you get the whole bundle as one file.

Path 2: remote source

  1. On the landing page, find the link field under the drop target.
  2. Paste a repository, Gist or page link into it. The field reads the URL and tells you what it found. The host select next to it only decides where a bare owner/repo goes.
  3. Press Fetch. FileConcat fetches the files and runs the same processing as a local drop, then shows the result screen.
  4. Adjust and emit as in Path 1.

Filter and emit

Both paths land on the same result screen:

  • The result screen's Format control switches the output between XML, Markdown, and Plain.
  • The Adjust what's included button in the top bar opens the Files pane. It holds a filter box, By type chips, the file tree with each file's share, and the Ignore and Only include glob textareas. Every change updates the bundle live.
