#!/bin/bash

# Script: chatgpt.sh
# Description: Traverse through a specified folder, excluding certain folders and files, and print the contents of all non-excluded files.
# Example: ./chatgpt.sh /path/to/folder

# Check if a folder path is provided
if [ -z "$1" ]; then
  echo "Please provide a folder path."
  exit 1
fi

# Folder path provided as the first argument
FOLDER="$1"

# Specific folders to exclude (by name, anywhere in the path)
EXCLUDED_FOLDERS=( ".idea" ".vscode" ".git" "__pycache__" )

# Specific files and file extensions to exclude
EXCLUDED_FILES_AND_EXTENSIONS=( "*.db" "*.log" "*.tmp" "*.udb" "*.csv" "*.txt" ".DS_Store" "move_files.sh" ) # Add more extensions here as needed

# Build the exclusion conditions string for folders and files
EXCLUSION_CONDITIONS=""
for folder in "${EXCLUDED_FOLDERS[@]}"; do
  [ -n "$EXCLUSION_CONDITIONS" ] && EXCLUSION_CONDITIONS+=" -o"
  EXCLUSION_CONDITIONS+=" -path \"*/$folder/*\""
done

for file in "${EXCLUDED_FILES_AND_EXTENSIONS[@]}"; do
  EXCLUSION_CONDITIONS+=" -o -name \"$file\""
done

# Use eval with find to apply exclusion conditions and find files
eval "find \"$FOLDER\" -type d \( $EXCLUSION_CONDITIONS \) -prune -o -type f ! \( $EXCLUSION_CONDITIONS \) -print" | while read file; do
  # Print the relative path of the file
  echo "Path: ${file#$FOLDER/}"

  # Print a separator line
  echo "---------------------"

  # Print the content of the file
  cat "$file"

  # Print two new lines as separation between files
  echo -e "\n\n"
