MarkTree enables you to quickly copy workspace directory structures, file contents, and even sets of open tabs as Markdown. With a single click, you can generate a neatly formatted Markdown tree of your project’s relevant folders and files in code blocks in a format perfect for LLMs.

Features

• Copy Md Tree: Copies a directory’s tree structure as Markdown.
• Copy Md Files: Copies the contents of files as Markdown code blocks.
• Copy Md Tree & Files: Copies both the directory tree and file contents as Markdown.
• Copy Tabs: Copies the contents of all currently open file-based tabs as Markdown.
• Copy Tabs to the Right: Copies only the open file-based tabs to the right of the current active tab.
• Copy Tabs to the Left: Copies only the open file-based tabs to the left of the current active tab.
• .gitignore Support: MarkTree can optionally respect your workspace’s .gitignore files, so you can copy only the files you want to share (Also allows additional entries via settings).
• Binary File Skipping: MarkTree can optionally skip binary files when copying directory contents.
• Configurable Menus: Add or remove any of the commands from your context menus, including the tab context menu.
• Ignore Customization: Add or remove ignores from a file’s context menu to fine-tune what files appear in your markdown output.

Copying Open Tabs as Markdown

If you frequently work with multiple files at once, MarkTree allows you to copy the contents of all currently open file-based tabs as Markdown. This also includes commands to copy only those tabs located to the left or to the right of your currently active tab, providing fine-grained control over what you copy.

• Copy All Tabs: Copies all open file-based tabs.
• Copy Tabs to the Right: Useful if you want to copy a selection of files opened to the right of the current focus.
• Copy Tabs to the Left: Quickly capture the files you've opened to the left side.

Copying Md Files

When you copy files, each file's content is formatted as a code block with an automatically detected language:

src/index.ts

export const multiply = (a: number, b: number) => {
  console.log('Breakpoint in multiply');
  return a + b;
};

package.json

{
  "name": "@repo/lib",
  "version": "0.0.0",
  "type": "module",
  ...
}

tsconfig.json

  "extends": "@repo/typescript-config/base.json",

    "outDir": "dist",
    "sourceRoot": "../../packages/lib/src"
  },
  "include": ["src"],
