Setup

1. Clone the repository, and cd into it:

   git clone https://github.com/amanvirparhar/gempress
   cd gempress

2. Create a .env file in this directory with the following contents:

   GEMINI_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

3. Install uv.

Usage

1. Put the raw text file of the book you want to reformat in the same directory as main.py.
2. Change the path to the text file in main.py to the name of the file you want to reformat.
3. Run the script:

   uv run --with-requirements requirements.txt --python 3.13 main.py

4. You should find an ePub file in the same directory as main.py with the same name as the input file (except with the .epub file extension).
5. Feel free to play around with prompt.txt.
