Removing File Summary header

[mireklzicar]

Idea: Being able to omit and/or customize File Summary. I just want the code in the output, not anything else.
Proposal: Adding output.summaryText or output.removeFileSummarywould be great.

Thanks for the suggestion, @mireklzicar!

How about adding these configuration options for more flexible control:

{
  "output": {
    "fileSummary": true,           // default: true
    "repositoryStructure": true    // default: true
  }
}

We can extend these options in the future to accept objects for more detailed control, while maintaining backward compatibility.

For example, in the future we could extend fileSummary to accept an object for more granular control while still supporting the boolean value:

{
  "output": {
    "fileSummary": {
      // ...
    }
  }
}

What are your thoughts on this direction?

Note: Due to current workload, implementation might be delayed until the end of the year.

Looks good. This will be simple to implement and perfectly enough for my usecase.

This feature has been implemented and released in v0.2.8! You can now control whether to include the file summary and directory structure using the fileSummary and directoryStructure options in your repomix.config.json. Please give it a try and let me know what you think!

Can this also be a cli flag? Actually a lot of the options would benefit from being CLI flags.

@gaby
You're right, providing these options as CLI flags would definitely increase flexibility. Especially for users using the --remote option, it could be very helpful.

I'll add CLI in a next release.

[yamadashy]

I've released a new version, v0.2.12, which includes the CLI flags for controlling output sections and content processing that we discussed:

https://github.com/yamadashy/repomix/releases/tag/v0.2.12

• --no-file-summary: Disables the file summary section in the output.
• --no-directory-structure: Disables the directory structure section in the output.
• --remove-comments: Enables comment removal from supported file types.
• --remove-empty-lines: Enables removal of empty lines from the output.

You can check out the release here: https://github.com/yamadashy/repomix/releases/tag/v0.2.12

Please let me know if you have any other suggestions or feedback!

@yamadashy Awesome, thank you! This will make it easier to use Docker too.

@yamadashy After the latest release i'm getting this error:

user@ubuntu:/usr/lib/node_modules# repomix --help
Fatal Error: {
  name: 'SyntaxError',
  message: "Unexpected token 'with'",
  stack: "SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'with'\n" +

Hi @gaby,

Thanks again for reporting this issue!

I'm also trying to reproduce the error on my end, but so far, everything seems to be working correctly on my machine.
To be clear, I've also added a check in our CI environment to run repomix --help and repomix --version across Windows, macOS, and Linux, and these checks are passing.
#237

I recently updated the cli-spinners and commander dependencies, and it's possible that these changes may be interacting unexpectedly with certain Node.js versions or OS environments.

Could you please share a few details about your environment? It would be helpful to know what operating system you're using (e.g., Windows, macOS, or Linux, and the distribution name/version if applicable).

Thank you for your cooperation!
