Fetch open-sourced documentation from Github or closed-sourced documentation from publisher website to put into a LLM-friendly format in one file for use with LLMs.

• GitHub Integration: Extracts documentation files (e.g., README.md, docs.md, files within a docs/ folder) from a GitHub repository using heuristics.
• External Documentation Heuristic: Optionally, fetches and converts external documentation links found in the root README.
• URL Crawling: Supports crawling a top-level documentation URL for content.
• Customizable Output: Serialize documentation in various formats (default plain text, XML, or Markdown).
• CLI and API: Use as an importable Python package or as a standalone command-line tool.

You can install docs2prompt directly from PyPI:

pip install docs2prompt

Alternatively, clone the repository and install locally:

git clone https://github.com/rezabrizi/docs2prompt.git
cd docs2prompt
pip install .

After installing, you can run the tool via the command line.

Example using a GitHub repository:

docs2prompt --repo owner/repo --token YOUR_GITHUB_TOKEN --format markdown --full_repo --external_documentation --output docs.txt

• --repo: GitHub repository in the format owner/repo (required if not using --url).
• --token: Your GitHub authentication token (only used if --repo is provided) - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED as without a token you can make at most 60 requests per hour which easily gets reached with 1 query. Refer to How to create a Personal Access Token (PAT)
• --repo: Documentation page url (required if not using --repo).
• --format: Output format (default, xml, or markdown).
• --output: File name to write the serialized documentation.
• --full_repo: Performs a full recursive search of the repository. Having this as True will cause the query to take longer to finish.
• --external_documentation: Enables external documentation heuristic to fetch linked external docs from the root README. Having this as True will cause the query to take longer to finish.

Example using a documentation URL:

docs2prompt --url https://example.com/documentation --format xml --output output.xml

Note: You must provide exactly one of --repo or --url.

You can also import docs2prompt as a module in your own Python code:

from docs2prompt import get_github_documentation


repo_id = "owner/repo"
token = "YOUR_GITHUB_TOKEN" # Although optional, Highly recommended
content = get_github_documentation(repo_id, token, full_repo=False, external_documentation=False, output_format="XML")
print(output_content)
