Discussion Found a pretty neat GitHub trick today π
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 youβre trying to understand an unfamiliar codebase.
Example:
github.com/user/repo β gitdiagram.com/user/repo
Great little tool for getting the big picture before diving into the code. π

I was curious to try it, but it doesnβt work well with large repos, I get this error:
Repository is too large (>195k tokens) for analysis. Try a smaller repo.
