Printify

This script captures snapshots of your project files into Markdown and copies them to the clipboard (when on mac).

Quick Start

1. Make the script executable:
   

   chmod +x printify.sh
   

2. Run it from your project root:
   

   ./printify.sh
   

3. Find the snapshot in snapshots/data-N.md and in your clipboard.

Configuration

• INCLUDE_EXTENSIONS: file types to include (default: py, md, sh, txt).
• IGNORE_DIRS: directories to skip (default: snapshots, .venv, .git).
• IGNORE_PATTERNS: filename patterns to skip (default: *.pyc, .env*).
