Invalid number for --include-logs-count

Error message

Invalid number for --include-logs-count: '${v}'. Must be a non-negative integer.

What it means

`--include-logs-count` controls how many recent git commits are included with `--include-logs`. The CLI enforces `/^\d+$/` (non-negative integer) in its parser, throwing this RepomixError for anything else.

Solutions

Pass a plain non-negative integer: `--include-logs-count 50`
Omit the option entirely to use the default (50)
Verify script variables expand to valid integers

Example fix

// before
repomix --include-logs --include-logs-count all
// after
repomix --include-logs --include-logs-count 100

Defensive patterns

Strategy: validation

Validate before calling

const i = process.argv.indexOf('--include-logs-count');
const v = i !== -1 ? process.argv[i + 1] : undefined;
if (v !== undefined && !/^\d+$/.test(v)) {
  throw new Error(`--include-logs-count needs a non-negative integer, got: ${v}`);
}

Type guard

const isNonNegativeInt = (v: unknown): v is number =>
  typeof v === 'number' && Number.isInteger(v) && v >= 0;

Try / catch

try {
  parseArgv(argv);
} catch (e) {
  if (e instanceof RepomixError && e.message.includes('--include-logs-count')) {
    console.error('Usage: --include-logs-count 50 (non-negative integer)');
  }
  process.exitCode = 1;
}

Prevention

Use plain integers only; omit the flag to accept the default (50)
Ensure the value immediately follows the flag so it isn't consumed from the next token

When it happens

Trigger: Passing `--include-logs-count` with a negative, decimal, or non-numeric value (e.g. `-5`, `50.0`, `all`), or the option consuming the next flag when the value is omitted.

Common situations: Users trying semantic values like `--include-logs-count all`, typos in scripts, or missing the value so the next flag is parsed as the count.
