Feature request: Add include/exclude filter feature

[doggy8088]

I use https://github.com/Microsoft/generative-ai-for-beginners as an example.

This repo contains translations folder in each chapter. If repo2txt has a feature that can include/exclude files by patterns, that will be awesome! 👍

Are you thinking of a text area where users could specify patterns in a .gitignore-style format?

I could reuse some code from the local version of the tool to parse and exclude files based on gitignore patterns. Dynamically updating the checkboxes could be a bit tricky, though.

Is this along the lines of what you're suggesting, or did you have something else in mind?

I'll implement a feature as explained above.
@elogicuk meanwhile you can add a .gitignore file with node_modules in the content root.

@elogicuk You still need to click 'Upload,' but only the filtered files will be displayed on the page.
