Health score?A 0-100 score computed nightly from four factors: maintained (40%: recent commits and steady activity), popular (25%: GitHub stars, log scale), easy to install (20%: platforms, install notes, setup guides, Docker image) and light to run (15%: minimum RAM, ARM support). When the source code has been checked, a fifth factor, security check (20%: automated scan for committed secrets, unsafe desktop-app settings, known-vulnerable dependencies and project hygiene; any serious finding caps it at 20), is added. Factors without data are left out and the rest are rescaled.

Common questions
Can it combine files from a local folder instead of only a GitHub repository?
Yes, it can combine all plain text files from a GitHub repo or local folder into one file, and you can select a local folder to upload.
Does it keep downloaded repositories on disk?
No, everything is kept in memory, so there is no storage to manage and no cleanup needed.
Is there a separate URL to download the consolidated file?
No, the file is embedded in the results page HTML as a data URI because the process is done in memory.
Does it count tokens for the combined text, and where is that calculated?
Yes, it provides a token count that is calculated in the browser using a WASM packaging of Python's tiktoken library.
How does it reduce risk from unsafe ZIP contents?
It avoids extracting downloaded files to disk, so it does not have to handle relative paths or other ZIP shenanigans.
