Navigating large codebases can be overwhelming, whether you're trying to understand a package, debug a product, or steal someone else’s work off GitHub.

This challenge often leaves developers feeling lost, especially newcomers to a project.

When I joined my previous company, I faced the same hurdles-deciphering a massive codebase with minimal guidance, all while hesitating to interrupt busy senior colleagues.

Enter GitPlexity: Perplexity for GitHub

GitPlexity is your intelligent guide for seamless navigation of GitHub repositories. It transforms the way you explore codebases, helping you save time and gain clarity.

How GitPlexity Changes the Game

Repository Input

Users simply provide the GitHub repository they want to explore.

Interactive Codebase Mapping

Behind the scenes, GitPlexity uses a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system to map the entire codebase into an intuitive, tree-like structure. This structure offers a clearer, more navigable alternative to GitHub’s native interface.

The app uses a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system to create a tree-like structure of your repository. This map provides an overview of the codebase at a glance, so you can easily locate and access specific files.

LLM-Powered Chat

  • File Insights: Clicking on any file (a node in the tree) triggers an explanation from the LLM assistant. You’ll receive a brief description of the file and its role in the codebase.
  • Chat Interaction: A separate chat tab enables you to query the LLM directly about the codebase for deeper insights.

Why GitPlexity?

  • Ease of Navigation: Instantly visualize the codebase structure, making exploration intuitive.
  • AI-Powered Guidance: Understand files and their roles without needing constant help from teammates.
  • Developer-Friendly: Perfect for onboarding, debugging, or simply learning how complex projects work.
