# Copy Code Context

GitHub issues

Copy files or folder trees into your clipboard as Markdown—ready to paste into chats, docs, or code reviews.

🚀 Usage

Explorer
- Select one or more files or folders → right-click → Copy Code Context
- Select a root folder → right-click → Copy Folder Structure
Editor Tab
- Right-click a tab title → Copy Code Context (This Tab) or … (All Open Tabs).
Paste anywhere and your Markdown snippet or tree is on the clipboard

Explorer: grab paths + syntax-highlighted code blocks
Tabs: copy the active file or all open files at once (Unsaved buffers (Untitled) are skipped)
Respects include/exclude globs, VS Code Explorer excludes & (opt-in) .gitignore
