README.md

AI-Powered README Generator

This repository contains a Python script that automatically generates README.md files for GitHub repositories using Google AI.

Features

• Clones a given GitHub repository.
• Merges all code files into a single file for analysis.
• Sends the merged code to Google AI's Gemini Pro model.
• Uses a prompt engineered to generate human-like and informative README content.
• Writes the generated README back to the cloned repository.

Dependencies

• Python 3.7+
• gitpython
• google-cloud-aiplatform
• vertexai

You can install the necessary packages using:

pip install -r requirements.txt 

Usage

1. Set up Google Cloud Project and Vertex AI API:

   • Create a Google Cloud Project (https://cloud.google.com/).
   • Enable the Vertex AI API.
   • Create a service account and download its JSON key file.
   • Set the GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variable to the path of your JSON key file:

     export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="path/to/your/keyfile.json"

2. Get Repository URL:

   • Get the repository URL from Github. This should be the complete path with the .git extension

3. Run the script:

   python helpme_readme.py --repo_url=<Github URL>

The script will generate or update the README.md file in the cloned repository directory.

Disclaimer

• The quality of the generated README depends on the complexity and clarity of the codebase.
• This is an experimental tool and may require further refinement or customization.
