Code File Merger to XML

This tool merges specified code files into a structured XML format, with support for scanning directories and selecting individual files. The generated XML can also be used as context for O(1) type models.

Features

• Merge multiple code files into a single XML document
• Support for various code file extensions (.py, .ts, .jsx, .js, .tsx)
• Scan a directory recursively for files or specify individual files
• Pretty-printed XML output

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone <repository-url>
   cd <repository-directory>

2. Ensure Python 3.x is installed on your system.

Usage

To run the tool, you can either scan a directory for code files or specify individual files directly.

Command-line Arguments:

• --input-dir: The path to a directory containing code files to include in the XML.
• --file: Path to individual files (can be used multiple times).
• --output-file: The path to save the generated XML file (required).

Example Commands:

1. Scan a Directory for Files:

   python merge_code_to_xml.py --input-dir ./path/to/code --output-file ./output/codebase.xml

2. Specify Individual Files:

   python merge_code_to_xml.py --file ./path/to/file1.py --file ./path/to/file2.js --output-file ./output/codebase.xml

3. Mixing Directory and Files:

   python merge_code_to_xml.py --input-dir ./path/to/code --file ./path/to/specific_file.ts --output-file ./output/codebase.xml

Output

The tool will generate an XML file at the specified output location with the following structure:

<codebase>
    <file>
        <filename>file1.py</filename>
        <filepath>/absolute/path/to/file1.py</filepath.json<|meta_end|></filepath>
        <contents>... file contents ...</contents>
    </file>
    <!-- More files -->
</codebase>
