Export the code from a ChatGPT conversation

Why this format

• Indentation survives intact

  Leading whitespace is preserved exactly, so Python and YAML don't arrive broken.

• Language identifiers are kept

  Each fence keeps its language, so your editor highlights the block the moment you paste it.

• Block boundaries stay clear

  Explanatory prose never bleeds into a code block, which is the usual result of a manual drag-select.

• One file, every snippet

  Filter to assistant messages and export once instead of clicking Copy on twenty separate blocks.

Example output

```typescript
interface ConversationService {
  fetchConversation(shareUrl: string): Promise<NormalizedConversation>;
}
```

```bash
curl -s "$SHARE_URL" | node scripts/normalize.mjs > thread.json
```

Step by step

1. 01Paste the public share link and load the conversation.
2. 02Use the 'Assistant only' filter, since code almost always lives in the replies.
3. 03Search the preview for a language name to find the block you want, then deselect the rest.
4. 04Export as Markdown to keep fences, or JSON if a script will consume the snippets.

Tradeoffs and limits

• Inline code inside a sentence stays inline rather than becoming its own block.
• Blocks with no declared language are exported as plain fences.
• Code is exported as written in the conversation — it is not compiled, linted, or verified.
