# yek
> Serialize a repository or directory into an LLM-friendly single file (fast Rust-based repomapper).
> More information: <https://github.com/bodo-run/yek#usage>.
- Serialize the current directory and write the output to a temp file (prints path):
`yek`
- Serialize specific directories and write output to a directory:
`yek {{path/to/directory1 path/to/directory2 ...}} --output-dir {{path/to/output_directory}}`
- Process multiple files or use glob patterns (quote globs to avoid shell expansion):
`yek "{{path/to/directory/**/*.rs}}" "{{path/to/directory/**/*.md}}"`
- Cap the token-based output size to 128k tokens:
`yek {{path/to/directory}} --tokens 128k`
- Cap the byte-based max output size and set an explicit output file name:
`yek {{path/to/directory}} --max-size {{100KB}} --output-name {{yek-output.txt}}`
- Stream JSON output:
`yek {{path/to/directory}} --json`
- Include a directory tree header in the output:
`yek {{path/to/directory}} --tree-header`
