Stop copy-pasting files one by one into ChatGPT / Claude / Copilot. There's a faster way.

Developer Ziad Shalaby has released Code Merge, an open-source VS Code extension that merges selected files, folders, or code selections into a single Markdown preview with a project tree and per-file headers. The TypeScript-built tool is designed to streamline providing code context to AI models like ChatGPT, Claude, and Copilot, and is available on the VS Code Marketplace, Open VSX, and GitHub under an MIT license.
