Grabit.sh

DEMO VIDEO

Grabit.sh is a powerful command-line tool designed to quickly gather and summarize useful information from Git repositories. It provides developers with a comprehensive overview of a project's structure, Git information, important files, and more.

Features

• Repository structure visualization
• Git information summary (recent commits, branches, remotes, status)
• Identification of important configuration files
• Large file detection
• File type summary
• Recently modified files list
• Project type detection
• LLM-friendly output chunks for easy integration with AI models

Installation

Pre-built Binaries

You can download pre-built binaries for your platform from the Releases page or use curl for direct download.

Linux

1. Download the grabitsh-linux-amd64 file from the latest release:

   curl -L -o grabitsh-linux-amd64 https://github.com/loftwah/grabitsh/releases/latest/download/grabitsh-linux-amd64
   

2. Make it executable:

   chmod +x grabitsh-linux-amd64
   

3. Optionally, move it to a directory in your PATH:

   sudo mv grabitsh-linux-amd64 /usr/local/bin/grabitsh
   

macOS

1. Download the grabitsh-darwin-amd64 file from the latest release:

   curl -L -o grabitsh-darwin-amd64 https://github.com/loftwah/grabitsh/releases/latest/download/grabitsh-darwin-amd64
   

2. Make it executable:

   chmod +x grabitsh-darwin-amd64
   

3. Optionally, move it to a directory in your PATH:

   sudo mv grabitsh-darwin-amd64 /usr/local/bin/grabitsh
   

Windows

1. Download the grabitsh-windows-amd64.exe file from the latest release using a browser or:

   curl -L -o grabitsh-windows-amd64.exe https://github.com/loftwah/grabitsh/releases/latest/download/grabitsh-windows-amd64.exe
   

2. Optionally, rename it to grabitsh.exe for convenience.

3. Add the directory containing the executable to your PATH environment variable.

Building from Source

If you prefer to build from source or want the latest development version:

1. Ensure you have Go installed on your system.

2. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/loftwah/grabitsh.git
   

3. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd grabit.sh
   

4. Build the project:

   go build -o grabitsh
   

Usage

To use Grabit.sh, navigate to a Git repository directory and run the following command:

grabitsh --output <output_method>

Replace <output_method> with one of the following options:

• stdout: Display the output in the terminal (default)
• clipboard: Copy the output to your clipboard
• file: Save the output to a file (use the -f flag to specify the file path)
• llm-chunks: Generate LLM-friendly chunks of the output (new feature)

Examples

1. Display output in the terminal:

   grabitsh --output stdout
   

2. Copy output to clipboard:

   grabitsh --output clipboard
   

3. Save output to a file:

   grabitsh --output file -f output.txt
   

4. Generate LLM-friendly chunks:

   grabitsh --output llm-chunks
   

   This will create multiple text files, each containing a portion of the output with a preamble suitable for use with Large Language Models.

5. Customize chunk size for LLM output:

   grabitsh --output llm-chunks --chunk-size 50000
   

   This sets the chunk size to 50,000 tokens. The default is 100,000 tokens.

LLM-Chunks Feature

The LLM-chunks output method is designed to create AI-friendly chunks of the Grabit.sh output. Each chunk includes a preamble that provides context about the tool, its purpose, and instructions for the AI model. This feature is particularly useful when you want to analyze the output using a Large Language Model or other AI tools.

Key points about LLM-chunks:

• Each chunk is saved as a separate text file (grabitsh_chunk_1.txt, grabitsh_chunk_2.txt, etc.).
• The default chunk size is 100,000 tokens, which can be customized using the --chunk-size flag.
• The preamble in each chunk helps the AI understand the context and purpose of the information.
• This feature makes it easy to feed the Grabit.sh output into AI models for further analysis or to generate insights about the repository.

Web Server

Grabit.sh also includes a web server feature. To start the web server, use the following command:

grabitsh serve

This will start a web server on port 42069. You can access it by navigating to http://localhost:42069 in your web browser.

Future Development

Expansion Plans

Grabit.sh is evolving beyond its current CLI functionality to include web-based capabilities. The following features and versions are planned for future releases:

1. Free Hosted Version (Public Repositories)

   • A web-based platform where users can input public Git repository URLs (GitHub, GitLab, Gitea, etc.).
   • The system will scan the repository online and generate summaries and documentation similar to the CLI version.
   • This version will be completely free for all users working with public repositories.

2. Paid Hosted Version (Private Repositories)

   • A subscription-based model designed for users who need to analyze private repositories.

   • Offers advanced features such as:

     • Priority processing
     • Enhanced security protocols
     • Team collaboration tools
     • Multi-repo management

   • The pricing will be tiered based on the number of repositories and users, with options for monthly or annual subscriptions.

Key Benefits

• Time Efficiency: Quickly identifies essential files and generates necessary documentation, saving significant time for developers and teams.
• User-Friendly: Offers both CLI and web-based interfaces to cater to different user preferences.
• Integration and Flexibility: Compatible with any Git platform and supports multiple repositories.
• Comprehensive Free Options: Open-source CLI and free hosted options encourage widespread adoption, while the paid model is ideal for monetizing private, enterprise usage.

Requirements for Future Versions

• Users will need to bring their own OpenAI API key to utilize the LLM features, which adds flexibility and reduces operating costs for the service.
