CodeWeaver is a command-line tool designed to weave your codebase into a single, easy-to-navigate Markdown document. It recursively scans a directory, generating a structured representation of your project's file hierarchy and embedding the content of each file within code blocks. This tool simplifies codebase sharing, documentation, and integration with AI/ML code analysis tools by providing a consolidated and readable Markdown output.

My codebase sitting at 4M lines: hold my spaghetti.

How does this compare to / differ from https://github.com/yamadashy/repomix ?

Which like, kinda neat that it exists, but who's using tooling that bad that they're manually copying and pasting that much code into, what, a web browser text entry box?

Use better tools people!

I have one for CVEs in case there are security folks here - recursively finds details like code commit diff which fixed the vulnerability in references links too to generate one single json.

This is self-promotional, but https://github.com/nahco314/feed-llm has TUI to choose what to give to llm. There are many similar tools out there, but I think this approach is relatively effective for larger code bases.

This seems useful for building new tools. It's not strictly an end-user tool.
