MDize 📋

Effortlessly copy code into perfect Markdown for LLMs & sharing 🚀

Tired of manually formatting code snippets for ChatGPT, Claude, or GitHub comments? That's exactly why MDize was created! It streamlines this by letting you grab files or folders directly from VS Code, instantly converting them into clean, Markdown-ready blocks—with or without line numbers.
Focus on your prompts and reviews, not on escaping backticks or numbering lines by hand.

🎯 Features

• Copy with or without line numbers – perfect for AI prompts or clean snippets
• Multi‑file & folder support – select anything, the extension walks sub‑folders for you
• Markdown‑ready formatting – code fences are auto‑tagged with the correct language
• Language‑agnostic – works with TypeScript, Python, Java, Markdown, YAML … see full list below
• Smart binary & size filter – skips binaries or files > 3 MB to keep the clipboard slick
• Blazing fast & lightweight – zero runtime dependencies, minimal footprint
• Instant feedback – toast messages confirm exactly what was copied

🖥️ Visual Examples

MDize integrates seamlessly into your VS Code workflow, whether you're in the Explorer or working with open editor tabs:

1. Accessing MDize from the File Explorer:

_{Figure 1 – Right-click any file or folder in the Explorer to quickly access MDize's "Copy Content" and "Copy Content with Lines" commands.}

2. Accessing MDize from an Editor Tab:

_{Figure 2 – You can also right-click directly on an open editor's tab title to use MDize (e.g., "Copy Content") on the active file.}

📄 Sample Output (what you get on the clipboard)

### `src/hello.js`

```javascript
console.log('MDize rocks!');
...
console.log('Bye, world!');
```

### `src/hello.js`

```javascript
01: console.log('MDize rocks!');
02: ...
12: console.log('Bye, world!');
```

### `src/bigFile.js`

```javascript
001: import mightyLib from 'mighty-lib';
002: ...
123: export default mightyLib;
```
