📁 repo2text

repo2text is a browser-based tool that lets you:

• Select folders and files from your local machine
• Check the exact files or folders you want
• Export the directory structure in a hierarchical format
• Export the contents of selected files in code block format (Markdown style)

🗄 Features

• ✅ Lazy folder expansion (only expands when clicked)
• ✅ Skip hidden folders like .venv, .git, etc.
• ✅ Only export files you explicitly check
• ✅ Prints folder hierarchy even if no files inside are selected
• ✅ All in a single self-contained HTML file — no build step, no backend
