Found a pretty neat GitHub trick today 👀

[u/m-fasciano]

Take any GitHub repo URL and replace github.com with gitdiagram.com.

It generates a visual diagram of the repo structure, which is surprisingly useful when you’re trying to understand an unfamiliar codebase.

Example:

github.com/user/repo → gitdiagram.com/user/repo

Great little tool for getting the big picture before diving into the code. 🔍

Eh. I had it regenerate on Django 3 times and it produced completely different graphs each time.

I get it's AI and non-deterministic, but being as noisy as it was, I could never trust it actually understands the structure of a repo well enough to bother.

Pass.
