It is not recommended to change a repository from multiple files to a single file. This kind of change can result in losing data and breaking the repository's structure, leading to issues with version control and collaboration.

If you still want to attempt this change in your own repository, you would need to:

  1. Clone the repository to your local machine
  2. Move all the contents of the repository into one file
  3. Delete any unnecessary files and folders
  4. Commit and push the changes to GitHub

However, this process may result in a significantly large file that may be difficult to work with and load into memory. It is better to consider alternative solutions, such as organizing the files into relevant folders, instead of merging all the files into one.
