What if you could chat with your codebase…? You know, along the lines of “I think I used this term somewhere” or “Who all has been contributing to this repository lately?” Or maybe just helping you better understand the code — that at one point you confidently understood but now can no longer make sense of — without having to read through hours of documentation. Whatever the case, Salal is there to help you chat with your Github repositories.
Understand complex codebases as easily as chatting with the developers who built them. Salal transforms repositories into intelligent assistants that explain, alert, and keep you informed – no more diving through documentation, hunting down tribal knowledge, or big surprises with new commits.
I haven’t actively written code since the days of HTML and Flash, but I do have a few Github repos that are largely content. So I got the chance to muck around with this. And I was really pleased with the results.
The best part…? I can talk to Salal in plain English. Or at least my approximation of how the English language comes out of my mouth.
If you’ve got a Github repo or two — especially if they’re dusty and untouched and you could use a quick refresher — it might be worth pointing Salal at them and having a little confab about what’s what.
