OpenRepoWiki is a tool designed to automatically generate a comprehensive wiki page for any GitHub repository. It simplifies the process of understanding the purpose, functionality, and core components of a repository by analyzing its code structure, identifying key files and functions, and providing explanations. The tool aims to assist individuals who want to learn how to build various projects by providing a summarized overview of the repository's contents. OpenRepoWiki requires certain dependencies such as Google AI Studio or Deepseek API Key, PostgreSQL for storing repository information, Github API Key for accessing repository data, and Amazon S3 for optional usage. Users can configure the tool by setting up environment variables, installing dependencies, building the server, and running the application. It is recommended to consider the token usage and opt for cost-effective options when utilizing the tool.

OpenRepoWiki Example Image

OpenRepoWiki is a tool that automatically generates a comprehensive wiki page for any given GitHub repository. I hate reading code, but I want to learn how to build stuffs from websites to databases. That's why I built OpenRepoWiki, where we can understand the purpose of that files and folders of a particular repository.

Features

  • Automated Wiki Generation: Creates a summarized overview of a repository's purpose, functionality, and core components.
  • Codebase Analysis: Analyzes the code structure, identifies key files and functions, and explains their roles within the project.
  • Link To That Code Block: The sky-blue highlighted code block will point to the Github link where it referenced.

Installation

Requirements

  • Either Google AI Studio or Deepseek API Key
  • PostgreSQL (For storing the summarized repository information)
  • Github API Key (To get more quota requesting the repository data)
  • Amazon S3 (You can ignore the parameters if you are going to use it locally. You need to use certificate for your Database if you are going to host it.)

Configuration

  1. Copy .env.example to .env
  2. Configure all the variables given in .env
  3. Install all the dependencies (npm install)
  4. Build the server (npm run build)
  5. Run (npm start)

Additional Information

[!CAUTION] Before using this, it can easily use 1 million input / output tokens per Repository. Hence it is recommended to use cheaper LLM.

  • If you are going to host it locally, you will only need to configure the Docker PostgreSQL container, Github API Key, and Google AI Studio or Deepseek API Key
