I built a simple tool to do something similar (it's meant for a monorepo and will build each subfolder in to a (subfolder-code.txt) text file that you can upload to AIs.

I don't see much merit in things like markdown or syntax highlighting as that's just extra noise for the AI. My script tries to cut down on any extraneous data since the things I'm working on are near the context limit of consumer AIs.

My script also ignores anything in .gitignore and will take a .codebundlerwhitelist (i hate this name and have meant to change it) to only bundle files matching patterns you specify.
