Background
In-house private repositories are often poorly documented, and the installation of various analytics tools involves complex permissions management, which makes the code more difficult to understand.
Core Solutions
DeepWiki offers a zero-installation solution for private repositories:
- Web-based analytics: Completely in the browser, no need to install any software locally
- Secure access mechanisms: Secure code with GitHub personal access token authorization
- Instant Document Generation: The system generates structured documentation for private repositories in minutes!
Detailed steps
- Register for an account on the DeepWiki website and log in!
- Generate a GitHub personal access token (requires repo read access)
- Click 'Add repo' in DeepWiki and enter the path to your private repository.
- After authorizing access, wait for the system to complete analysis and document generation
caveat
- It is recommended that access tokens be created using the principle of least privilege
- Large private repositories may take longer to analyze for the first time
- Regularly update documentation to reflect the latest changes to the code
