fetch project context fast. a sidebar lists files and folders (respecting .gitignore + extra excludes). copy a neat, fenced snippet with language and relative path.

features

  • copy a single file, an entire folder, or the whole workspace
  • explorer right-click: "fetchit: copy file" / "fetchit: copy folder"
  • respects .gitignore and fetchit.excludeGlobs
  • automatic fallback to file save when clipboard is truncated
  • displays line count for copied content

usage
