VSCode GPT Project Loader

This VSCode extension converts the contents of a selected project into a structured text format, making it perfect for GPT-based tasks like code review, documentation generation, or AI-assisted development.

Features

• Convert project contents into text while preserving the file structure.
• Exclude specified files and folders from the file selection using the gptProjectLoader.exclude setting.
• Files with extensions listed in here is marked as Not Viewable.
• Select specific files from the project to include in the output.
• Outputs formatted text, ready for GPT or AI-assisted workflows.

Generated output

The following text is a project with code. The structure of the text are sections that begin with ----, followed by a single line containing the file path and file name, followed by a variable amount of lines containing the file contents. The text representing the project ends when the symbols --END-- are encountered. Any further text beyond --END-- are meant to be interpreted as instructions using the aforementioned project as context.

----
src/factorial.py
def factorial(n):
    # Base case: if n is 0 or 1, return 1
    if n == 0 or n == 1:
        return 1
    # Recursive case: n * factorial of (n-1)
    else:
        return n * factorial(n - 1)
