This is great, but I’m pretty sure this is trivial using Emacs and org mode. You could then use pandoc to convert org to markdown

It's trivial using a number of approaches, eg. a simple bash or python script. But I think there's still a fair amount of value in building a common tool for these sorts of things. Everyone that builds their own one off solution will inevitably encounter more and more of the edge cases (oh I need to honor .gitignore... oh, I need to be able to override .gitignore and include some ignored things... oh I need to deal with huge files... etc) and with a common tool the tool can collect the ways of dealing with all of these edge cases.
Now no one will need something that can handle all of the edge cases, but whatever edge cases they need to be handled will already be handled. The overall time and frustration saved this way can be huge.
