## What it is
Gitingest turns any Git repository into a prompt-friendly text digest of its codebase, suitable for feeding into LLMs. It is available as a Python CLI/library, a hosted web service (gitingest.com), and browser extensions that let you swap 'hub' for 'ingest' in any GitHub URL.

## Use cases
- turn a github repo into a text dump for an llm prompt
- extract a codebase as context for chatgpt or claude
- get a prompt-friendly summary of a repository's files and structure
- feed an entire codebase to an llm for code review
- convert a git repository into a single text file for analysis
- ingest a repo's source code into an ai coding assistant

## When to choose
- you need to give an LLM the full context of a codebase quickly
- you want a zero-setup way to digest public GitHub repos via URL or browser extension
- you prefer a simple CLI or Python library for generating codebase text dumps

## When to avoid
- you need semantic code indexing or embedding-based retrieval rather than raw text dumps
- you work with very large repositories that exceed LLM context windows even after filtering
- you need real-time code intelligence like IDE-integrated code search
