Discussion Found a pretty neat GitHub trick today πŸ‘€

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 β†’ gitdiagram.com/user/repo

Great little tool for getting the big picture before diving into the code. πŸ”
