Understanding a new GitHub repository is time-consuming:
- Dozens or hundreds of files to read
- Unknown architecture
- Missing or outdated documentation
Gitzy helps developers:
- Explore repos faster
- Decide whether to contribute
- Understand projects without cloning them
Simply paste a GitHub repository link and Gitzy will:
- Fetch repository metadata
- Analyze its structure
- Prepare it for AI exploration
Gitzy automatically generates a visual file explorer:
- Browse folders and files
- Navigate large repositories easily
- Understand project structure quickly
Gitzy generates a high-level overview of the repository:
- Purpose of the project
- Main technologies used
- Overall architecture
- How the project works
This saves hours of manual reading.
The most powerful feature.
You can ask questions like:
- "What does this project do?"
- "Explain the backend architecture"
- "How is authentication implemented?"
- "Which files should I read first?"
Gitzy uses AI to analyze repository files and provide context-aware answers.
Gitzy eliminates the need to:
- Clone repositories
- Install dependencies
- Configure IDEs
Perfect for:
- Students learning from open source
- Developers exploring new tech stacks
- Recruiters reviewing projects
- Contributors evaluating repos
Gitzy includes a complete modern authentication flow.
Users can sign in using:
- Email & Password (JWT authentication)
- Google OAuth
- GitHub OAuth
Features:
- Secure token-based sessions
- Protected workspaces
- Personalized repository history
- Seamless login experience
- User authenticates via JWT / Google / GitHub OAuth
- User submits GitHub repository link
- Backend fetches repository data using GitHub API
- File structure & contents are processed
- AI generates summaries and answers via Groq API
- Session & workspace data stored in MongoDB
- Frontend workspace displays personalized results
🚀 Live and actively being improved
Currently working on:
- Workspace UI refinements
- Performance optimizations & caching
- More AI-powered insights
- Better chat context handling
