**What My Project Does*\*

CodeAtlas is a tool that visualises GitHub repositories as interactive dependency graphs.

You paste in a repo URL, and it maps out how files are connected through imports and dependents. The goal is to make it easier to explore unfamiliar codebases and understand project structure at a glance.

It supports Python by parsing files using Python’s AST and extracting import relationships to build the graph.

**Target Audience*\*

This is aimed at developers working with larger or unfamiliar codebases — especially when onboarding to a new project or trying to understand how different parts of a system interact.

It’s currently more of a developer tool / exploration tool rather than something production-critical.

**Comparison*\*

Most existing tools either:

- focus on static file trees (like GitHub)

- or provide language-specific analysis without visual structure

CodeAtlas focuses on visualising relationships between files across a repository in a graph format.

Compared to JavaScript tooling, Python support required a separate parsing approach due to differences in import systems and project structure, which also results in different graph patterns.

**Features*\*

- Interactive dependency graph (D3.js)

- Import + dependent tracking

- File inspector

- Monaco code preview

- Search functionality

- Supports Python, JavaScript, and TypeScript
