Once you have NitroDigest installed, here’s a quick example to verify everything is working: ## 1. Prepare a test file Create a simple text file `example.txt` with some content (for instance, you can copy a few paragraphs from a news article or an email newsletter). ## 2. Run NitroDigest on the file ```bash nitrodigest example.txt ``` This command will use the default settings to summarize `example.txt`. The tool will connect to the local Ollama model, generate a summary, and save the result. ### Alternative: Process Current Directory You can also run NitroDigest without any arguments to process all supported files in your current directory: ```bash nitrodigest ``` This will automatically find and summarize all text files (`.txt`, `.md`, `.html`, `.json`, `.csv`, `.log`, etc.) in the current working directory. NitroDigest processes multiple files in parallel (up to 4 simultaneously by default) and shows a progress bar during processing. ## 3. Observe the output You should see console messages indicating the file is being processed and where the summary is saved. For example: ```bash Processing file: example.txt Generating summary for example.txt... 2025-05-16 08:11:51,550 - cli.summarizer.base.OllamaSummarizer - INFO - Sending request to Ollama API using model mistral ``` When the process is done, you will see a summary in terminal. If you want to save the summary into a file, please use command like this: ```bash nitrodigest example.txt > summary.md ``` When the process is done, you can simply see the summary from file. Example: ```bash cat summary.md ``` ## 4. Including Original Text (Optional) If you want to include the original text alongside the summary, use the `--include-original` flag: ```bash nitrodigest example.txt --include-original > summary-with-original.md ``` This will append the original text to the output after the summary, which can be useful for reference or comparison purposes.
