Repo Dumper
A CLI utility to export complete Git repository structure and source content into a single, structured, portable file, optimized for reviews, documentation, and AI analysis.
Overview
Problem context, intent, and high-level design
Repo Dumper was built to solve a recurring problem faced during audits, architecture reviews, onboarding, and AI-assisted analysis: understanding large codebases without manually navigating hundreds of files.
The tool extracts the entire repository tree along with source content into a single, structured output, making it easy to review, share, archive, or feed into downstream systems.

Execution Model
How the tool is intended to be used
