## What it is
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

## Facets

- domain: developer-tools, documentation, large-language-models
