FileConcat

FileConcat is a Go tool that concatenates multiple code files, removes comments, and outputs the clean code to STDOUT.

Features

  • Concatenates multiple files into one.
  • Removes both single-line and multi-line comments.
  • Supports wildcard patterns for file selection.
  • Outputs the cleaned, concatenated code to STDOUT.

Installation

To build FileConcat from source, ensure you have Go installed, then clone this repository and run:

git clone https://github.com/schubam/FileConcat.git
cd FileConcat
go build -o FileConcat
## Usage

You can use FileConcat by passing in individual filenames or wildcard patterns. The results will be printed to STDOUT.

```bash
./FileConcat file1.swift file2.go "**/*.js"

Showing or Hiding Filenames

By default, FileConcat prepends the filename with a colon before each file's content. To control this behavior, use the -show-filenames flag:

  • Show filenames (default behavior):

    ./FileConcat -show-filenames=true file1.swift file2.go

    Output:

    file1.swift:
<contents of file1.swift>

file2.go:
<contents of file2.go>

  • Hide filenames:

    ./FileConcat -show-filenames=false file1.swift file2.go

    Output:

    <contents of file1.swift>

<contents of file2.go>
