CopyTree Linux Binary

Feed Entire Codebases into AI with Ease

Ever tried pasting a full project into ChatGPT or another AI model… only to realize it’s messy, incomplete, or too big to handle?
CopyTree solves that problem.

CopyTree is a lightweight developer tool that automatically:

🗂 Builds a clean directory tree of your project

📝 Captures every file with clear headers

📋 Copies the entire formatted codebase to your clipboard

✂️ Splits into sections for AI models (when needed, with --gpt mode)

The result? A perfectly structured copy of your codebase, ready to paste into AI — with zero redactions, no guessing, and no manual prep.

Example Output (from a real Flutter project)

Copied directory tree and 27 files to clipboard
Total lines 7586 Total Characters 253651

Behind the scenes each file has a header (==== ./file/path ====).
This makes it incredibly easy for AI models to ingest your full codebase without confusion.

Why Developers Love CopyTree

✅ Copy your entire project into your clipboard in seconds
✅ Automatically exclude build artifacts, vendor directories, or files you don’t need
✅ AI-friendly formatting — no redactions, no guesswork
✅ Supports GPT mode, which splits large projects into manageable sections with instructions for AI
✅ Works on any project — Go, Python, Flutter, Node, PHP, anything

Perfect For

🧑‍💻 Developers who want to show full codebases to AI for debugging or refactoring

📚 Students learning programming who need to share entire projects with tutors or forums

⚡ Teams that want to audit or document projects quickly

👉 Stop manually copying files into AI.
👉 Stop wasting time fixing broken formatting.

With CopyTree, you just run one command, and your entire project is AI-ready.

🔧 System Note:
CopyTree uses your clipboard by default. On Linux, this requires xclip to be installed.

When running over SSH, ensure X forwarding is enabled for clipboard support.
