Repogather – copy relevant files to clipboard for LLM coding workflows
Hey HN, I wanted to share a simple command line tool I made that has sped up and simplified my LLM assisted coding workflow. Whenever possible, I’ve been trying to use Claude as a first pass when implementing new features / changes. But I found that depending on the type of change I was making, I was spending a lot of thought finding and deciding which source files should be included in the prompt. The need to copy/paste each file individually also becomes a mild annoyance. First, I implemented `repogather --all` , which unintelligently copies all sources files in your repository…

In plain words
Repogather is a command-line tool that copies relevant source files from a repository to the clipboard for use with large language models. Designed for developers using AI assistants like Claude to write code, it eliminates the manual process of selecting and copying individual files. The tool can gather all source files or intelligently choose relevant ones based on the task, formatting them with filepath delimiters for easy pasting into LLM prompts.

GPT Repo Loader – load entire code repos into GPT prompts2023 · github.com · ▲373I was getting tired of copy/pasting reams of code into GPT-4 to give it context before I asked it to help me, so I started this small tool. In a nutshell, gpt-repository-loader will spit out file paths and file contents in a prompt-friendly format. You can also use .gptignore to ignore files/folders that are irrelevant to your prompt. gpt-repository-loader as-is works pretty well in helping me achieve better responses. Eventually, I thought it would be cute to load itself into GPT-4 and have GPT-4 improve it. I was honestly surprised by PR#17. GPT-4 was able to write a valid an…
Bench for Claude CodeMar 2026 · bench.silverstream.ai · ▲412Store, review, and share your Claude Code sessions
ClaudebinFeb 2026 · claudebin.com · ▲258Hi HN, We use Claude Code a lot, and after a long session there isn't a simple way to share exactly what happened with someone else. Prompts, responses, file edits, and tool calls all stay inside the terminal. We built Claudebin to make that easier. It's a plugin that lets you export the current session as a URL containing: - the full message thread - file reads and writes - bash commands - web and MCP calls You can send the link to someone, attach it to a PR, embed part of it, or resume the session locally. It's open source. GitHub:…
