# repo-to-text
`repo-to-text` is an open-source project that converts the structure and contents of a directory (repository) into a single text file. By executing a simple command in the terminal, this tool generates a text representation of the directory, including the output of the `tree` command and the contents of each file, formatted for easy reading and sharing.
## Features
- Generates a text representation of a directory's structure.
- Includes the output of the `tree` command.
- Saves the contents of each file, encapsulated in markdown code blocks.
- Copies the generated text representation to the clipboard for easy sharing.
- Easy to install and use via `pip` and Homebrew.
## Installation
### Using pip
To install `repo-to-text` via pip, run the following command:
```bash
pip install git+https://github.com/yourusername/repo-to-text.git
```
### Using Homebrew
To install `repo-to-text` via Homebrew, run the following command:

## Usage
After installation, you can use the `repo-to-text` command in your terminal. Navigate to the directory you want to convert and run:

```
## Example Output
The generated text file will include the directory structure and contents of each file. For example:
