New Rust tool repOx streamlines packing code repos for LLMs

A new Rust-based command-line tool called repOx has been developed to efficiently pack code repositories into prompts for large language models. The tool addresses common issues like prompt pollution from lockfiles and binary files, and aims to reduce the time taken to generate prompts. repOx offers a fast terminal UI for selecting files, previews, and a live token gauge, while also stripping unnecessary data by default and supporting various LLM token budgets.
