Developer-friendly CLI for codebase snapshots and AI vibe-coding.
npm install johankitJohanKit is a developer-friendly CLI designed to supercharge your vibe-coding flow. It helps you capture, restore, and manipulate snapshots of your codebase, making it effortless to experiment, refactor, and collaborate—without locking you into a specific framework or workflow.
Think of it as your personal code snapshot toolkit: lightweight, fast, and platform-agnostic.
---
bash
johankit copy [exts]
`
* : Directory to scan (default: current)
* exts: Comma-separated list of extensions (e.g., ts,js)$3
Restore files or apply patches from a JSON snapshot stored in your clipboard.
`bash
johankit paste [dir] [--run] [--diff] [--dry-run]
`
* : Execute console commands included in the patch.
* --diff: Interactive mode. Shows a line-by-line diff and asks for confirmation before applying changes to each file.
* --dry-run: Preview changes without modifying any files.
* -y: Auto-accept all prompts.$3
Generate a ready-to-use AI prompt containing your codebase snapshot and your instructions.
`bash
johankit prompt ""
`
* : Directory to include in the context.
* : Instructions for the AI to perform on the codebase.$3
Two-way synchronization: copies the current snapshot, waits for your AI-generated patch input via terminal (Ctrl+D to finish), applies it, and copies the updated snapshot back to the clipboard.
`bash
johankit sync [dir] [--run] [--dry-run]
