Yek is a fast Rust CLI tool that serializes text files in a repository or directory into a single stream or chunked output optimized for LLM consumption. It respects .gitignore rules, uses Git history to prioritize important files, and supports token/size caps, glob patterns, and YAML configuration.

Use cases

• serialize a codebase into a single file to paste into an LLM prompt
• prepare repository context for AI coding assistants
• cap repository output to a token limit for a context window
• pipe source files to clipboard for sharing with a chatbot
• bundle selected files or globs into one text chunk
• prioritize important files last in LLM context

When to choose

• you need to feed a whole repo or directory to an LLM within a token budget
• you want gitignore-aware, git-history-prioritized file bundling with fast Rust performance
• you want zero-config defaults with optional YAML customization

When to avoid

• you need semantic code parsing or AST-aware chunking
• you need to serialize binary or non-text assets
• you want a GUI or IDE-integrated context builder
