MarkTree

MarkTree is a dev power tool for effortlessly copying any aspect of source control: directory structures, file contents, tabs, and even Git diffs, into Markdown. Take advantage of the latest LLMs or Agentic systems like V0, Gemini, GPT 4.1 or new Claude releases without waiting for GitHub Copilot or Cursor support. Provide advanced context beyond what these IDEs support.

Pro

MarkTree Pro unlocks extra features for advanced users. If you’re constantly handling multiple commits, deeply reviewing diffs, or wanting the ultimate control in how you share your code with AI or collaborators, MarkTree Pro has you covered.

Pro Feature Highlight:

• Generate Structure from Clipboard Tree: Copy a Markdown‑style directory tree to your clipboard, right‑click any folder, and instantly scaffold the entire structure—folders and files—inside your workspace.
• Copy Staged Git Changes: Gather your staged Git changes into Markdown diffs—perfect for partial commits or quick reviews.
• Copy Git Diffs for Selected Commits: Use a QuickPick to select multiple commits, then MarkTree gathers the git show output for each commit and merges them into one Markdown snippet.
• Priority License Validation: Faster updates and priority support.
• And more coming soon!

Copying Open Tabs as Markdown

If you frequently work with multiple files at once, MarkTree lets you copy the contents of all currently open file-based tabs as Markdown. You can also limit copying to tabs on the right or left of the active one. This makes it easy to share precisely the subset you need.

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

Copying Problems from the Active File

MarkTree can collect and copy all diagnostics (errors, warnings, etc.) for your currently active file—complete with line numbers, messages, and code snippet context.

When you run Copy Problems from Active File, you’ll get a Markdown snippet like:
