Exploring Codebases with GitNexus

When to Use

• "How does authentication work?"
• "What's the project structure?"
• "Show me the main components"
• "Where is the database logic?"
• Understanding code you haven't seen before

Workflow

1. gitnexus_list_repos() → Discover indexed repos
2. gitnexus_query({query: "<what you want to understand>"}) → Find related execution flows
3. gitnexus_context({name: "<symbol>"}) → Deep dive on specific symbol
4. gitnexus_query({query: "process <name>"}) → Trace execution flow

Note: If the index is stale, run npx gitnexus analyze in the terminal.

Checklist

• [ ] gitnexus_list_repos to see available indexes
• [ ] gitnexus_query for the concept you want to understand
• [ ] Review returned processes (execution flows)
• [ ] gitnexus_context on key symbols for callers/callees
• [ ] Read source files for implementation details

Tools

gitnexus_query
