Tutorial: Master ReposLens in 3 Steps

Welcome to ReposLens

Just created your account? Congratulations. Here is how to get the most out of the tool in less than 3 minutes.

Step 1: Import (Painlessly)

  1. Click the blue "New Project" or "Analyze my code" button.
  2. Paste your GitHub repository URL (Public or Private).
    • Note: For private repos, you will need to authorize via GitHub OAuth.
  3. Let the magic happen. Our engine analyzes code statically (without executing it).

Step 2: The Interactive Map

Once analysis is complete, you land on the Canvas.

  • Nodes: Circles represent your files or classes.
    • 🔵 Blue: TypeScript/JS Files
    • 🟡 Yellow: Modules
    • 🟢 Green: Services / Databases
  • Links: Lines show dependencies (imports, calls).
  • Navigation: Zoom with the wheel, move around with left click.

Step 3: Filter the Noise

A large project can look like a giant spiderweb. Use the Sidebar to filter:

  • Check "Database Only" to see only data architecture.
  • Search for a specific file to center it.

Pro Tip: "Focus" Mode

Double-click on a node to enter Focus mode. This hides everything else and shows only direct dependencies of that file. Ideal for understanding a localized bug.
