Getting Started

GitLogger is a powerful tool designed to help you visualize and understand the architecture, evolution, and history of any public GitHub repository.

Analyze a Repository: On the home page, simply paste a GitHub repository URL (e.g., https://github.com/facebook/react) and press Enter.
Ask the AI: Type a regular question instead of a URL on the home screen to instantly open a ChatGPT-style conversation. Our AI can help you understand architectures, git concepts, or anything else you're curious about!
Search Suggestions: Your recent searches are conveniently saved. Click the search bar at the top of any page to quickly jump back to a previously analyzed repository.

Once a repository is loaded, you have access to three main tabs:

Commits: A chronological timeline of all major commits. Clicking on a commit fetches real-time statistics showing how many files were modified, and the exact number of additions and deletions.
Issues: A streamlined view of the repository's open issues, complete with author information and comment counts. Clicking an issue opens it directly on GitHub.
Readme: A natively rendered version of the repository's `README.md` file so you can understand the project without leaving GitLogger.

Enhance your workflow with these tips:

Press / anywhere on the page to instantly focus the top search bar.
Clicking the Git Logger logo in the top left will clear your current session and return you to the pristine home screen.
Use the View on GitHub button on the repository overview to instantly open the repo in a new tab.
