Hi HN, We're excited to share repo2vec: a simple-to-use, modular library enabling you to chat with any public or private codebase. It's like Github Copilot but with the most up-to-date information about your repo. We made this because sometimes you just want to learn how a codebase works and how to integrate it, without spending hours sifting through the code itself. We tried to make it dead-simple to use. With two scripts, you can index and get a functional interface for your repo. Every generated response shows where in the code the context for the answer was pulled from. We also made it…

Hi HN! This is Assaf, Matan, and Yshay from https://livecycle.io/ Livecycle enables dev teams to collaborate and comment in context, on top of any preview environment. Using Livecycle, developers get clear feedback earlier in the release cycle leading to higher-quality products, a faster release cadence, and fewer context switches and misunderstandings. Livecycle builds and pushes a dev-like environment for every branch in your repo (or, if you prefer, you can bring your own environments).

RepoIQ▲15After years of struggling with onboarding to new projects, I got tired of spending weeks just trying to grasp the basics of a codebase. The README rarely tells the whole story, and "just read the code" isn't practical for large repos. I built RepoIQ to create personalized learning paths through any GitHub repository. It analyzes the codebase structure, identifies key components, and creates a step-by-step guide tailored to your learning needs.

Small codebases were always a good thing. With coding agents, there's now a huge advantage to having a codebase small enough that an agent can hold the full thing in context. Repo Tokens is a GitHub Action that counts your codebase's size in tokens (using tiktoken) and updates a badge in your README. The badge color reflects what percentage of an LLM's context window the codebase fills: green for under 30%, yellow for 50-70%, red for 70%+. Context window size is configurable and defaults to 200k (size of Claude models). It's a composite action. Installs tiktoken, runs ~60 lines of inline…
