GitHub repository through a Podcast
Understanding any GitHub repository is tough, especially a big one - this project aims to make it a tad bit easier by giving the listener a primer + some details on the specific repository. For some people (like me) - audio/visual medium is more easily understandable. So, I hope this project is helpful to some of them.

In plain words
This tool converts GitHub repositories into audio podcasts, helping users understand complex codebases through listening rather than reading. It generates a primer and repository details in spoken format, catering to people who learn better through audio and visual mediums. The project uses AI to create the podcast content and can be self-hosted with various speech synthesis and language model options. It's designed for developers exploring unfamiliar or large repositories.

To add more voices and let users choose most natural one (decide between OpenAI/Microsoft Speech) 2. Custom instructions to the SSML creator. Self hosting: 1. For speech - You can use Microsoft Speech (they do have free credits I think) 2. For SSML text - You can also use Gemini flash 2.0 exp - with 15 free credits (I am using OpenAI GPT 4o)
