📁 FileBinder

🌟 FileBinder is a cutting-edge tool designed to streamline the process of consolidating various code files 📄 from your projects into a single, organized TEXT document 📚.

🚀 Features

• Selective File Integration: Easily specify file types 📑 to include in your PDF, from .js, .jsx, .html, .css, to .txt, ensuring that only relevant files make it to the final document.
• Directory Exclusion: Effortlessly exclude directories like node_modules 🚫 or any other non-essential folders to keep your document clean and focused on your code.
• Relative Path Inclusion: Maintain context with each file's relative path and name 🛣️ included in the PDF, making navigation and reference a breeze.
• Automated Concatenation and Conversion: FileBinder automates the tedious process of manually combining files 🔄 and converting them into a PDF format 📄➡️📁, saving you time and effort.
• Customizable Output: Tailor the output file's location 🗺️ and name 🏷️ to fit your project's needs, offering flexibility in how and where you store your compiled documents.
