Free & open source where noted · every link checked

1. GitDiagram — see the architecture

github.com/owner/repo → gitdiagram.com/owner/repo

Turns the repo into a visual diagram so you can see how the files connect instead of clicking through folders.

2. Gitingest — full repo as AI context

github.com/owner/repo → gitingest.com/owner/repo

Bundles the summary, directory structure, and file contents into one block of text you can paste straight into any AI.

3. uithub — same idea, one keystroke

github.com/owner/repo → **u**ithub.com/owner/repo

Change the g to a u and you get instant LLM-ready repo context without leaving the URL bar.

4. DeepWiki — an AI wiki for any repo

github.com/owner/repo → deepwiki.com/owner/repo

Generates full documentation plus a chat you can ask questions to, so you learn the codebase without reading it.

5. GitMCP — plug the repo into your AI tool

github.com/owner/repo → gitmcp.io/owner/repo

Creates an instant MCP server for that repo so Cursor, Claude, or VS Code can pull live context from it.

Bonus: press . on any GitHub repo page to open it in a full VS Code editor in your browser.
