Overview

This script combines files with a specified extension (e.g., .md, .txt, .js) from a given directory into a single text file. The files are sorted by name, and each file's path and content are included in the combined output. This functionality is useful for creating a single document from multiple files, such as compiling updated documentation for custom GPTs.

Requirements

• Bash environment (Unix/Linux/MacOS)
• Access to the target directory containing the files to be combined

Usage

Script Execution:

Run the script using the following command format:

./scripts/combine-md.sh <source_directory> <output_file> <file_extension>

• Replace combine-md.sh with your script's filename.
• <source_directory> should be the path to the directory containing the files.
• <output_file> is the name of the file where the combined content will be stored.
• <file_extension> is the extension of the files you want to combine (e.g., md, txt, js).

Example:

./script_name.sh /path/to/github/repo/docs combined_documentation.txt md
