codemerge is a simple, yet powerful command-line tool for merging all your code files into a single JSON file. This tool is especially handy for developers who need to aggregate source code from various files for analysis, backup, or documentation purposes.

• Easy to Use: Run codemerge in any directory to merge your code files.
• Customizable: Exclude specific files or directories.
• Comprehensive: Supports various code file types.
• Interactive Prompts: Guided experience using inquirer.js.

• GPT Builders: By merging code into a single JSON, codemerge simplifies the process of using code repositories for training AI models, such as GPT. This can be invaluable for understanding large codebases or for building AI-powered coding assistants.

Run the tool in the directory where your code files are located:

npx codemerge

Upon running, codemerge will:

1. Prompt you to enter the path to the directory (or use the current directory by default).
2. Ask for comma-separated file names or directories that you want to exclude (e.g., node_modules, .env).

The tool will then generate a merged_code_files.json file in your current directory containing the contents of all your code files, formatted as an array of objects with path and content keys.

The output JSON file will have the following format:

[
  {
    "path": "/path/to/file1.js",
    "content": "code content here..."
  },
  {
    "path": "/path/to/file2.py",
    "content": "code content here..."
  }
  // ... more files
]

codemerge supports various code file types, including but not limited to .js, .py, .html, .css. Feel free to extend this as per your requirements.
