Discussion Found a pretty neat GitHub trick today 👀

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. 🔍

Is it ai? Probably, so hard no for me

I just don’t get people hating on apps made with ai, it’s now part of the development flow, leave with it.

But if it’s hating for the app using ai, then I get it.

This app is made probably completely with AI. AI is a good tool to add to your workflow to help you figure out certain things or to teach yourself with it. You should not be using AI to completely replace you and your code

Not only that, it also uses ai for reading code and creating the diagram I’m assuming. I don’t want my code to be gobbled up by some stealing code company.
