Hacker News - Tue, 11/05/2024 - 6:36am

askrepo is a tool that helps developers understand complex codebases using AI. It leverages Gemini's API with a 2M token context window to provide accurate code explanations and insights.

## Key Features:

- Analyzes entire Git repositories or specific paths

- Maintains full context of the codebase

- Provides accurate answers based on comprehensive code analysis

- Flexible usage for code understanding, bug detection, and more

## Why This Exists:

- Traditional chat services and tools like Cursor/Copilot Chat often provide fragmented information

- Need for better context understanding in large codebases

- Especially useful for OSS analysis and complex project exploration

## Questions for the Community:

1. Is there a real need for this tool?

- Uncertain about how many developers need code explanation features - Personally found it valuable for OSS analysis - Looking for feedback on use cases 2. Are there better alternatives?

- Open to solutions that make code comprehension easier - Key requirements: - Flexible code scope selection - Better AI context understanding - Current tools (Cursor/GitHub Copilot) fell short in these aspects Would love to hear your thoughts on use cases and potential improvements!
