**Wilmington, Delaware.** Nina Labs AI today launched [git1file](https://git1file.com), a tool that turns a GitHub repository into one compact, structured file that a large language model can read in a single pass.

## Why we built it

Developers who give a code base to a model run into two limits: the size of the context window and the cost of the tokens. Most of a repository does not help the model. Binaries, logs, lock files and generated code take up space and add nothing.

git1file removes that noise and packs what remains into a format that models parse well. In our tests, it uses at least 25% fewer tokens than existing tools for the same repository, without losing the structure of the code.

## Features at launch

- **Compression.** At least 25% fewer tokens for the same context, so more code fits in the same budget.
- **Automatic file exclusion.** Binaries, logs and redundant documentation are filtered out.
- **XML output.** A structured format that makes the file tree and the relationships in the code easy for a model to follow.
- **Private repositories.** Secure access to private code through the GitHub integration.
- **Analysis dashboard.** A history of past runs and the token savings for each.

## Availability

git1file is available now at [git1file.com](https://git1file.com) and needs no setup. To mark the launch, the first 100 supporters could buy a lifetime Pro membership for $10.
