SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

It helps you turn a codebase into a navigable knowledge graph so you can visually understand architecture, symbol relationships, and execution flow without manually reading thousands of files.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Codebase indexing into a knowledge graph: Indexes a target repository using GitNexus and stores the results in the repo’s .gitnexus/ directory.
  • Interactive web visualization: Serves an in-browser UI to explore symbols, call chains, clusters, and dependency/execution structures.
  • Remote sharing via Cloudflare tunnel: Enables access beyond localhost using a production build plus a lightweight Node proxy to avoid host/CORS issues.
  • Optional semantic search: Supports embeddings for natural-language queries over the indexed content (slower on large repos).

Quick Start

Clone the GitNexus web UI, index your target repository with npx gitnexus analyze --skip-agents-md, then start the API backend with npx gitnexus serve and launch the bundled static+API proxy using node scripts/proxy.mjs to open the explorer in your browser.

Frequently Asked Questions about gitnexus-explorer

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I visualize a codebase as a knowledge graph for architecture discovery?▼

Yes, you can inspect call chains and dependency execution structures by indexing the repository into a GitNexus knowledge graph and navigating the visual relationships exposed in the in-browser web interface.

How do I set up and start the GitNexus web UI for repository indexing?▼

To start the web UI, run npx gitnexus analyze on your target repository, start the backend with npx gitnexus serve, then launch the bundled static and API proxy using node scripts/proxy.mjs to open the explorer.

Can I share a browsable code graph remotely without hosting it on a public server?▼

Yes, the explorer supports optional semantic search using embeddings, allowing you to run natural-language queries over the indexed content to find specific symbols and relationships within the codebase.

Do I need Node.js and git history to index a repository with GitNexus?▼

Yes, you need Node.js installed to run GitNexus and the web proxy, and the target repository must be a local git repository with .git history to successfully index the codebase into the knowledge graph.

Are there limitations when using semantic search on large codebases?▼

Yes, a known limitation is that optional semantic search via embeddings runs slower on large repositories, making natural-language queries over the indexed content potentially delayed for extensive codebases.
