ChatGPT to Markdown

Convert ChatGPT conversation JSON files to Markdown format with ease.

Usage

Go to chat.openai.com > Settings > Data controls > Export data and export your data.

Unzip the file you're mailed and run:

npx chatgpt-to-markdown path/to/your/conversations.json

NO NEED TO INSTALL - npx will automatically install the package if it's not already installed.

This will generate one Markdown file for each chat same directory as the conversations JSON file. The file name will be the chat title, with invalid filename characters replaced by spaces.

Example

Here's an example of the Markdown output for a chat with the title Medium-Style Table CSS:

    Generate CSS for a Medium-style table

## assistant

Creating a Medium-style table requires a clean and minimalist design. Here's a simple CSS snippet to help you create a table that resembles the style seen on Medium. This code assumes that you have a basic HTML table structure in place.

```css
/* Resetting some table styles */
table {
    border-collapse: collapse;
    width: 100%;
    margin-bottom: 20px;
}
...
```

Installation

npm install chatgpt-to-markdown
