GitDocs

Transform GitHub repositories into polished technical blog posts using AI

🎥 I'll be releasing a video soon showcasing the tool and walking through how to use it effectively.

🌟 Features

• One-Click Blog Generation: Enter a GitHub repo URL, get a complete technical blog post
• Smart Repository Analysis: Automatically detects tech stack, parses README, and extracts meaningful code snippets
• AI-Powered Content: Leverages modern language models to create coherent, informative technical content
• Clean NextJS Frontend: Modern responsive interface built with NextJS and Tailwind CSS
• Local Fallback: Continues to function even when AI services are unavailable

🚀 Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Python 3.8+
• Node.js 14+
• Git

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/AnishMane/GitDocs.git
   cd GitDocs

2. Set up the backend:

   cd backend
   python -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
   pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Create a .env file in the backend directory with your OpenRouter API key:

   OPENROUTER_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
   

4. Set up the frontend:

   cd ../frontend
   npm install

Running the Application

1. Start the backend server:

    cd backend
    python -u app.py

   The backend will be available at http://localhost:5000

2. In a new terminal, start the frontend:

   cd frontend
   npm run dev

   The application will be available at http://localhost:3000

🔧 How It Works

GitDocs operates in three main stages:

1. Repository Analysis:

   • Clones the target repository
   • Identifies technology stack based on file extensions and dependencies
   • Extracts README content and representative code snippets

2. Content Generation:

   • Sends repository metadata to AI model via OpenRouter API
   • Structures blog with sections for introduction, features, technical details, and code examples
   • Falls back to template-based generation if API is unavailable

3. Presentation:

   • Renders Markdown blog content with syntax highlighting
   • Provides download and copy options
