Installation

Download the Universal DMG file for both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs.

Double-click the downloaded `.dmg` file and drag the GPTree application to your Applications folder.

Download either the `.exe` installer or the `.msi` package.

Run the downloaded installer and follow the on-screen instructions. Requires Windows 10 or later.

The easiest way to install on most Linux distributions is via the install script:

curl -fsSL https://gptree.dev/install.sh | sh

Alternatively, you can download the package format suitable for your distribution:

Launch the GPTree application.
Click the "Open Project" button or use the menu (File > Open Folder) to select your project directory.
The file tree of your project will appear in the left panel.
Click on files or folders in the tree to select them. Selected items will be highlighted.
Selected files' content will be added to the right-hand preview panel, formatted with markers.
Use the checkboxes in the settings panel (if available/implemented) to toggle options like respecting `.gitignore`.
Once you've selected all desired files/folders, click the "Copy to Clipboard" button.
Paste the generated context into your LLM prompt.

GPTree aims for simplicity, but offers some configuration options (details may evolve):

Respect `.gitignore` files: (Usually enabled by default) This option ensures that files and patterns listed in your project's `.gitignore` (and global gitignore) are excluded from selection and output.
Include Hidden Files/Folders: Toggle whether items starting with a dot (`.`) are shown in the file tree and included in the output.
Output Formatting: Potential future options might allow customizing the markers used in the combined output text.

Settings might be accessible via a dedicated settings panel within the app or through menu options.
