Overview

File Joiner is a Visual Studio Code extension that allows you to easily combine the contents of all files within a selected folder (including subfolders) into a single document. It also copies the combined content to your clipboard for convenient sharing or further processing.

Features

• Join all files in a selected folder and its subfolders
• Preserve folder structure in the output with comments indicating file paths
• Automatically copy the combined content to the clipboard
• Open the combined content in a new document for immediate viewing and editing

Usage
