Stop copy-pasting files one by one into ChatGPT / Claude / Copilot.
There's a faster way.
Just published Code Merge — a VS Code extension I built.
Select files, folders, or specific code selections → merge them into a single Markdown preview with a project tree and clear per-file headers.
Perfect for giving context to AI models or sharing a code snapshot with
your team.
Key features:
• Add File / Folder / Selection with one click
• Live preview that updates as you edit — nothing written to disk
• Smart ignore rules (node_modules, .git, lockfiles, binaries…)
• One-click copy to clipboard
• Full workspace isolation for multi-root projects
Built with TypeScript · MIT licensed · Open source.
