Use Code2prompt CLI with SSH
Why it doesn’t work?
Section titled “Why it doesn’t work?”When you try to run the code2prompt CLI on a remote server via SSH, the command is unable to find the clipboard. This is because the code2prompt CLI uses the clipboard to copy the generated prompt, and SSH sessions typically do not have access to the local clipboard.
Solution
Section titled “Solution”To use the code2prompt CLI with SSH, you can redirect the output to a file instead of copying it to the clipboard. This way, you can still generate the prompt and save it for later use.
Use the --output-file option to specify the output file where the generated prompt will be saved. For example:
ssh user@remote-server "code2prompt path/to/codebase -O output.txt"
