llml

A CLI tool for cloning GitHub repositories and creating local symlinks in the current working directory. This is used by LLMs to reference code from GitHub repositories in thier generated code.

Installation

npx llml <repository>

Usage

You can use llml with either a full GitHub URL or a shorthand owner/repo format:

# Using full URL
npx llml https://github.com/owner/repo

# Using shorthand format
npx llml owner/repo

# Update existing repositories
npx llml --update

What it does

1. Creates a .llml-src directory in your home folder to store cloned repositories
2. Creates a .llml directory in your current working directory
3. Clones the specified repository to .llml-src (if it doesn't exist)
4. Creates a symlink from the cloned repository to .llml/[repo-name]

When using --update:

1. Shows an interactive list of all repositories in .llml-src
2. Allows you to select repositories using spacebar
3. Runs git pull on each selected repository to update them

Example

# Clone and link a repository
npx llml facebook/react

# This will:
# 1. Clone https://github.com/facebook/react to ~/.llml-src/react
# 2. Create a symlink at ./.llml/react pointing to ~/.llml-src/react

# Update existing repositories
npx llml --update

# This will:
# 1. Show a list of all repositories in ~/.llml-src
# 2. Let you select which ones to update using spacebar
# 3. Run git pull on the selected repositories
