Explore the Linux kernel source code with AI-generated summaries

The Linux kernel is a large and complex codebase, with over 30 million lines of code. Understanding the codebase can be challenging, especially for newcomers. To help developers navigate the codebase more easily, this is a lightweight tool that uses GPT-4o to generate summaries of the Linux kernel source code as you explore.

Ensure your OpenAI API key is set in the OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable or --api-key option.

usage: ai-kernel-explorer [-h] [--api-key API_KEY] [--cache CACHE] [--model MODEL] [--version] [root]
