Repomix packs an entire repository, a folder or a remote GitHub repo into a single AI-friendly file you can give to LLMs, with include and ignore patterns.

This file holds every use case of this repo. Each one starts with a "## " heading and ends with its URL.

## Repomix tutorial: pack your codebase into one file for an LLM

Repo: [yamadashy/repomix](https://github.com/yamadashy/repomix) | Difficulty: Beginner | Time: 15 minutes | Basis: From the README

Run one command to bundle your codebase and paste it into a chat model.

**Who it is for:** A developer asking a chat model to review a whole project.

**The problem:** Copying files one by one into chat loses structure.

**The outcome:** One AI-friendly file containing the repository.

### Steps

1. Run `npx repomix@latest` in your project
2. Open the generated file
3. Attach it to your chat model
4. Ask for a review or refactor plan

### Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
Run `npx repomix@latest` in <repo>, attach the output to the chat, and ask for the top five refactoring opportunities. Confirm every file path cited exists.
```

### Caveat

Large repos can exceed a model's context window; use include patterns to trim.

## How to pack only the files that matter with Repomix

Repo: [yamadashy/repomix](https://github.com/yamadashy/repomix) | Difficulty: Beginner | Time: 15 minutes | Basis: From the README

Use include and ignore patterns to keep the bundle small and focused.

**Who it is for:** A developer whose full repo is too big for the model's context.

**The problem:** Irrelevant files waste the context window.

**The outcome:** A focused bundle of just the source and docs you choose.

### Steps

1. Install with `npm install -g repomix`
2. Run `repomix --include "src/**/*.ts,**/*.md"`
3. Add `repomix --ignore "**/*.log,tmp/"` patterns as needed
4. Check the output size

### Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
Run repomix with --include for <patterns> and --ignore for <patterns> on <repo>, then report the output size and file count.
```

### Caveat

Check the bundle for secrets before pasting it into any hosted model.

## Repomix --remote: pack a GitHub repo without cloning it

Repo: [yamadashy/repomix](https://github.com/yamadashy/repomix) | Difficulty: Beginner | Time: 15 minutes | Basis: From the README

Use --remote to bundle any public repo, branch or commit for analysis.

**Who it is for:** A developer evaluating an unfamiliar open-source library.

**The problem:** Cloning just to ask questions is extra work.

**The outcome:** A bundle of the remote repo at the branch or commit you choose.

### Steps

1. Install Repomix
2. Run `repomix --remote yamadashy/repomix`
3. Pin a branch or commit with --remote-branch
4. Ask your model questions about it

### Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
Run `repomix --remote <owner/repo>` and use the output to explain the project's architecture. Cite file paths from the bundle.
```

### Caveat

Remote packing works for repositories Repomix can access.
