I have a model and collision model which I can code into a ragdoll but I'm a bit confused on how to code it into a player model for gmod.
I've been trying to find guides for how to make one but found nothing really useful.
What code should I use and what files should I include?
$includemodel m_anm.mdl. If your model already has all the proper bones, then all you need is that.
Try this, I moved an older post of mine onto my website.

Hey, I didn't know you were still posting here. Your old post about converting ragdolls to playermodels was the first exposure I've ever had to modelling; thanks for all of your great work!

What do you mean by "all the proper bones"?

If the model you want to use is already on the HL2 or CS:S rig, then you're good to go. if it's on a different rig, you're going to run into problems.

If the bones have ValveBiped.Bip01 preceding them.

I rigged the model from scratch, so I assume that I'm going to be missing a few parts. How would I "match up" the rigs?

Your bones need to match these (not all of them necessarily, but definitely the parent bones).

So all I have to do is match the bone names in my model?

The skeleton structure needs to be the same. I'd recommend you to re-rig it using some HL2 human skeleton so you won't fail when trying to make it a playermodel/npc.

Where could I get a human skeleton?

Browsing HL2 sdk files or a few other Source SDKs available. You might also decompile a human model from HL2 (use Crowbar Tool) and get the ragdoll.smd file for the skeleton.

Alright, I got the skeleton and re-rigged my model but I think I did something wrong because my collision model in HLMV looks like this:
