codebase-visualizer

You can visualize a codebase directory tree as an interactive HTML map by running a Python script from the project root. It generates a navigable HTML file using Python's standard library, rendering folders and files into an expandable tree structure.

Generating an interactive codebase map is an effective way to help new developers navigate a large repository structure. It renders the project layout as an expandable HTML directory tree, allowing contributors to quickly grasp file organization and jump to specific locations.

You do not need external dependencies to generate an HTML visualization of your project. The tool renders the directory tree entirely using Python's standard library, requiring only the Python environment already installed on your machine.

To create an interactive codebase map from the project root, execute the visualization Python script and pass the current directory as the argument. This processes the folder structure locally and outputs an HTML file for direct browser navigation.

You can use this codebase visualization for a repository audit. It provides a navigable directory tree that maps the entire project structure, making it easier to review file organization and identify structural issues during navigation-heavy codebase audits.
