Can I limit the size of the data being ingested?

Yes, the skill includes a --max-size option to prevent large binary files or logs from overwhelming the context window.

What makes this better than standard file reading?

It provides a consolidated, three-section output (Summary, Tree, Content) that gives the AI a holistic view of the project architecture rather than fragmented file segments.

How do I exclude unnecessary files like node_modules?

You can use the -e or --exclude-pattern flag within the skill to filter out directories like node_modules, build, or dist to save on token costs.

What is the ingesting-git skill?

It is a specialized Claude Code skill that converts GitHub or local repositories into a structured text format that AI models can easily read, parse, and analyze.

Does this skill work with private GitHub repositories?

Yes, by providing a GitHub access token via the -t or --token configuration option, you can securely ingest and analyze private repositories.

開発者ツール

Transforms entire codebases into structured, LLM-optimized text digests for deep repository analysis and contextual understanding.

概要

The ingesting-git skill bridges the gap between complex source code repositories and Large Language Model context windows by transforming folder structures and file contents into a single, structured text document. By utilizing the GitIngest protocol, it provides an organized summary, a visual directory tree, and consolidated file contents while allowing users to filter out noise like dependency folders or build artifacts. This is an essential utility for developers needing to perform comprehensive codebase audits, automated documentation generation, or rapid context loading for AI-driven development tasks.
