About Rift-code
Rift-code is a visual mapping tool designed for developers to visualize their GitHub repo structure and architecture. By connecting directly to your GitHub repositories, the platform generates a comprehensive architectural overview. It aims to help in understanding complex codebases without manually tracing thousands of lines of code, making it easier to identify patterns and dependencies. One key feature of Rift-code is its Ask Lens functionality. Ask Lens enables users to query their codebase and receive written responses accompanied with visual diagrams, aiding in making more sense of the way the codebase flows. This makes it particularly useful for deep-dive analysis, onboarding new team members, planning features, checking impact before refactoring, and more. Rift-code supports multiple languages and package managers and allows users to visualize both public and private repositories. It assures users that their code is neither stored nor shared, maintaining a focus on privacy.
