Example command:

repomix --include "pages/_app.js,pages/_document.js,components/Header.js,lib/supabaseClient.js,pages/auth.js" --copy

Example output:

This file is a merged representation of the entire codebase, combining all repository files into a single document.

================================================================
File Summary
================================================================

Purpose:
--------
This file contains a packed representation of the entire repository's contents.
It is designed to be easily consumable by AI systems for analysis, code review,
or other automated processes.

File Format:
------------
The content is organized as follows:
1. This summary section
2. Repository information
3. Directory structure
4. Multiple file entries, each consisting of:
  a. A separator line (================)
  b. The file path (File: path/to/file)
  c. Another separator line
  d. The full contents of the file
  e. A blank line

Usage Guidelines:
-----------------
- This file should be treated as read-only. Any changes should be made to the
  original repository files, not this packed version.
- When processing this file, use the file path to distinguish
  between different files in the repository.
- Be aware that this file may contain sensitive information. Handle it with
  the same level of security as you would the original repository.

Notes:
------
- Some files may have been excluded based on .gitignore rules and Repomix's
  configuration.
- Binary files are not included in this packed representation. Please refer to
  the Repository Structure section for a complete list of file paths, including
  binary files.

Additional Info:
----------------

Even though repomix says that some files might be excluded, this is contradictory to its statement at the top that 'this is the entire codebase', which is not AI-friendly, substantiated by the fact that Deepseek-R1 still thinks that it's the full codebase:

Let's identify the remaining issues and next steps based on your **complete** codebase:

Critical Missing Piece:
javascript
Copy

// pages/auth/callback.js - MISSING IN YOUR CODEBASE
// This is essential for handling OAuth callbacks
...
etc

It's not missing, I just forgot to include it! I hope that's clear.

The requested change is to have the pasted output say 'this is a merged representation of part of the codebase', or something similar, if only some files are included.

Thanks to all the contributors - awesome project.

Hi, @gitkenan !
Thank you for your suggestion!

I hadn’t noticed this before, but you are absolutely right.

In cases where the include option is used, it is necessary to adjust the wording accordingly. However, since the ignore option and other settings can also affect the output, it may be necessary to provide a detailed explanation of how the file was generated while clearly stating that it does not represent the entire codebase.

I will give this further consideration. Thank you!
