Repo2Docs: Convert Repositories to Documentation

Inspired by github2file

Repo2Docs is a Python-based tool designed to convert the contents of a repository into comprehensive documentation or diagrams. This tool leverages language model APIs such as OpenAI or Anthropic to process and generate documentation, making it easier for developers to create documentation for their projects.

Usage

To run Repo2Docs on your local machine, follow these steps:

1. Install Repo2Docs:

   pip install repo2docs
   

2. Set Up Environment Variables: Export your OpenAI and Anthropic API keys as environment variables:

   export OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key_here
   export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_anthropic_api_key_here
   

   or Input your OpenAI or Anthropic API keys when prompted

3. Run the Tool:

   cd into the directory where the repo is located

   cd <path_to_repo>
   

   Run the main command for an interactive prompt

   repo2docs
   

   or, run the main command with the following flags

   repo2docs --dir_path <path_to_repo> --output_file <output_file> --type <type> --llm <llm>
   

   • Leaving dir_path empty will default to the current directory.
   • Leaving output_file empty will default to output.md.
   • Leaving type empty will default to documentation.
     • To generate mobile documentation, use --type mobile.
     • To generate diagrams instead of documentation, use --type diagram.
     • To generate database erd diagrams, use --type database.
     • To use a custom prompt,leave type empty and use --prompt "<prompt>".
   • Leaving llm empty will default to openai.
     • To use Anthropic, use --llm anthropic.
       • Defaults to claude-3-haiku-20240307.
       • To use a specific model, use --llm anthropic:<model>.
     • To use OpenAI, use --llm openai.
       • Defaults to gpt-4-turbo.
       • To use a specific model, use --llm openai:<model>.

Supported File Types
