Install & Compatibility

Where this runs

No compatibility data collected yet for this library.

Code

Verified usage

Analyze a local codebase and get a summary, directory tree, and file contents.

from gitingest import analyze # Analyze a local directory summary, tree, content = analyze(".", include_patterns=["*.py"], exclude_patterns=["__pycache__"]) print(summary) print(tree) print(content[:500])

gitingest --version

Debug

Known issues

gotchaThe library is very new (v0.3.1) and API may change without notice. Avoid pinning to an exact version in production until stable.

fix

Use version pinning with `gitingest>=0.3.1,<0.4.0` and monitor releases.

affects: <1.0.0

gotchaThe `analyze` function returns a tuple of three strings: (summary, tree, content). Content can be extremely large for big codebases, causing memory issues.

fix

Limit scope with `include_patterns` and `exclude_patterns` to reduce output size.

affects: all

Errors

Common errors & fixes

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'gitingest'

Library not installed or installed in the wrong environment.

fix

Run `pip install gitingest` in the correct virtual environment.

RecursionError: maximum recursion depth exceeded

Symlinks or deeply nested directories in the target path causing infinite recursion.

fix

Use `exclude_patterns` to ignore problematic directories or provide a shallower path.
