Show HN: RepoSherlock – repo onboarding in minutes (map, run, risks)

1 points by kemal-arslan 2 hours ago · 1 comment · 1 min read


Hi HN! I built RepoSherlock to speed up onboarding to unfamiliar repositories.

It analyzes a GitHub repo (URL or local path) and outputs: - an architecture/dependency map (+ hotspots) - runnable quickstart guidance - risks (license/CI/config signals) - actionable issues (incl. “good first”)

Killer feature: with --try-run, it attempts real install/test/build/start steps in a sandbox and attaches evidence/timeouts to the report bundle.

Repo + demo GIF: I’ll add in the first comment. Feedback welcome on: try-run reliability, report format, and what heuristics you’d want next.

No comments yet.
