File-by-file AI-generated comments for your codebase
My friends and I were complaining about having to decipher incomprehensible code one day and decided to pass the code through GPT to see if it could write easily understandable comments to help us out. It turns out that GPT can but it was still a hassle to generate comments for large files. So we decided to develop a basic web application that automatically integrates with your Github repository, generate comments, create a pull request and send you an email when it is all done. There is definitely a lot more that can be done but we wanted to gain feedback on whether this is a problem that…

In plain words
This tool automatically generates AI-written comments for code files and integrates with GitHub repositories. It connects to a codebase, creates understandable comments for complex code sections, opens a pull request with the changes, and sends an email notification when complete. The tool is designed for developers who struggle to understand or document difficult code and want to automate the comment-writing process across large files.

git-lrcFeb 2026 · hexmos.com · ▲300Hi HN, I'm the author of git-lrc, would appreciate some feedback from the community Last year my team started using AI coding tools more heavily, and we found ourselves generating tons of code, but spending less time looking at the stuff that's been generated. We felt like we were losing a bit of grip/understanding of what we were building. Regressions occasionally slipped through. Sometimes changes made it all the way to production only to be reverted later. We tried several AI code review tools, but most operate at PR time. That felt too late. I wanted review to happen while the…
