It may be good to add some security measures such as file type restrictions, size limits and node_modules filtering before merging to make it production-ready. It would be good to test thoroughly for potential bugs and edge cases.

Same #31

Same #31

Ah, after the message you sent, I understood that the pr request was about "downloading files locally" and that the pr request would be cancelled. Are you sure that this pr and 31 are the same? I see that they are different in terms of functionality. If we are sure, we can send any pr request, we can add the missing parts, no problem.

A much needed feature. Looking forward to when this is available. Hopefully, sooner rather than later.

To avoid passing sensitive data to the LLM it would be better to exclude files and folders defined in the .gitignore (if any)

[lassecapel]

I think we need a combination of this pr, #31 and #289. Combining those will add functionality:

• upload for file and folder
• add the context to the chat
• some snity checking on files, don't add the world to the context

Considering there is now folder import and github public repo import

Does this PR has something that missing there?
