A Python CLI tool that flattens any GitHub repository into a single static HTML page with syntax highlighting, markdown rendering, and sidebar navigation. It offers a human-friendly browsing view and an LLM view that exports the whole codebase as CXML text for pasting into chat assistants.

Use cases

• view an entire github repo's code on one page
• copy a whole codebase into chatgpt or claude for analysis
• ctrl+f search across all files in a repository
• quickly review a repo without clicking through github
• export repo source as text for llm context

When to choose

• you want to read or search an entire small-to-medium repo at once
• you need to feed a full codebase to an LLM as context
• you prefer a single static file over browsing github

When to avoid

• the repository is very large or full of binaries
• you need maintained, supported tooling - the author explicitly does not intend to maintain it
• you need interactive code navigation like an IDE
