       Show HN: Get your entire ChatGPT history, in Markdown files
        
       This is just a small thing I coded to help me see my entire convo
       history in beautiful markdown, in Obsidian (my note-taking app).
       [Link to Github repo](https://github.com/mohamed-chs/chatgpt-
       history-export-to-md).  The Python script helps you to convert
       conversations extracted from ChatGPT (ZIP export all your data,
       sent by Openai) into neatly formatted Markdown files.  Also adds
       YAML metadata headers and includes Code interpreter (Advanced data
       analysis) intput / output code.  Feel free to fork the repo and
       implement your own improvements, I feel like there's alot more to
       be extracted from the data. Any feedback or contributions are
       welcome !  I found chrome extensions to be a bit slow and sometimes
       overkill for this, although I did enjoy the folder system in some
       of them.  [Link to first post](https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/com

       | I bet Code Interpreter could give some good scripts to analyze
       | and visualize these.

       | I used https://github.com/pionxzh/chatgpt-exporter in firefox,
       | which had a bulk export option.

       | Edit: Would it be feasible to have this setup as an Obsidian
       | extension as well?
