Use ChatGPT to generate a well-formatted README based on your code
Project description
gpt-readme
Introduction
The gpt-readme
module is a Python code library that generates README files based on code repositories. It provides a convenient way to automatically generate documentation for code projects. By analyzing the code files and directories in a repository, gpt-readme
can generate a README file that includes summaries of the code structure, files, and other relevant information.
Get Started
To install gpt-readme
, you can use either of the following methods:
-
Install from PyPI using pip:
pip install gpt-readme
-
Install from the source GitHub repository:
git clone https://github.com/gusye1234/gpt-readme.git cd gpt-readme python setup.py install
Once installed, you can use the gpt-readme
command directly in the command line.
Command-line Usage
The gpt-readme
command-line tool provides various options to customize the README generation process. Here is an example usage:
gpt-readme --path ./code --exts py,java --language english --demand "No false summary is allowed" --out ./readme.md --cache 1 --agree
The available command-line options include:
--path
: The path to the code repository.--exts
: The file extensions to include in the README generation.--language
: The language used in the README file.--demand
: Additional requirements for the README generation.--out
: The output path for the generated README file.--cache
: Caching options for improved performance.--agree
: Agreement to send code to OpenAI.
Features
The gpt-readme
module supports the following main features:
-
Summarizing directories and files:
gpt-readme
can analyze the code repository and generate summaries of directories and files. This helps users understand the structure and contents of the codebase. -
Generating README files: Based on the analysis of the code repository,
gpt-readme
can generate a README file that includes the summarized information. This saves time and effort in manually creating documentation.
Implementation
The gpt-readme
module consists of the following submodules and code files:
__init__.py
: Imports themain
function and defines metadata about the code repository.__main__.py
: Serves as the entry point for the codebase and executes themain
function.constants.py
: Defines constants and a function for generating a readme header.dir_summary.py
: Implements functionality for summarizing directories and files in a code repository.file_summary.py
: Provides functionality for summarizing code files.main.py
: Uses ChatGPT to generate a README file based on code.prompts.py
: Contains string constants used as prompts for generating documentation.utils.py
: Provides utility functions for thegpt-readme
codebase.
