DeepWiki – An intelligent GitHub code repository reading assistant launched by the Devin team.

What is DeepWiki？

DeepWiki is an AI tool developed by the Devin team that generates interactive wiki documentation for GitHub repositories. Users can directly ask questions about a codebase, and DeepWiki, powered by natural language processing technology, provides detailed, documentation-level answers. DeepWiki supports a deep research mode to help users analyze complex issues more thoroughly. It has indexed over 30,000 GitHub repositories and processed more than 4 billion lines of code. Currently, it is completely free for open-source projects.
