Codeflower

Visualize repos on github.

Codeflower is a Chrome extension that adds a "Codeflower" tab to the navigation bar on github.com. When clicked, it displays the repository as a d3 force-directed graph, with inner nodes representing directories and outer nodes representing files. The size and color of the outer nodes indicate the number of lines of code and the programming language of the file, respectively. Visit the GitHub repository for more information!

User reviews

Very useful for gaining insight into project structure, reviewing whether the structure is suitable and finding suggestions for refactoring and restructuring. Example: Rendered one of the projects I worked on with CodeFlower, discovered that in frontend components there was one file which was X times larger than the rest, and realised that the file actually harboured multiple functionalities and should be most likely split into individual components. Note, however, that since CodeFlower uses D3, there's a limit to what it can render. Small- and mid-sized projects are fine. But, rendering died when I tried to use it on TypeScript repo (which has 1.20 GB at the time of writing this).

Codeflower is probably the coolest way to look at data from GitHub! https://github.com
