★ Feature Report
Understand any codebase in hours, not weeks
Paste a GitHub URL and start asking questions about the code. AskBro indexes every file, answers architecture questions, and cites exact file paths and line numbers.
What You Get
Answers with file and line citations
Every code answer references the exact file path and line number so you can verify and navigate directly in your editor.
Architecture and design questions
Ask high-level questions like "how is auth handled?" or "what design patterns are used?" and get concise explanations.
PR and diff understanding
Understand what a PR or commit changes and why, with full context from the surrounding codebase.
Indexes code, README and docs
AskBro reads the full repository: source files, inline comments, README files, changelogs, and documentation folders.
Onboard to new repos in hours
Stop spending days reading through an unfamiliar codebase. AskBro lets any developer get up to speed in hours.
No code stored permanently
Repository content is indexed in memory for your session. Nothing is stored permanently outside your workspace.
How It Works
Paste a GitHub URL
Enter the URL of any public GitHub repository. AskBro will begin indexing immediately.
AskBro indexes the repo
The code, README, and documentation are read, chunked, and indexed using vector embeddings. Most repos complete in under a minute.
Ask anything about the code
Ask architecture questions, find where a feature is implemented, trace a bug, or understand an unfamiliar module.
Common Questions
How does AskBro index a GitHub repository?
AskBro clones the public repository, reads all code files, the README, and documentation, then builds a semantic vector index that enables natural-language questions about the codebase. Most repositories are fully indexed in under two minutes.
Does AskBro support private GitHub repositories?
AskBro currently supports public GitHub repositories. Private repo support with personal access tokens is on the roadmap.
What programming languages and file types can AskBro index?
AskBro indexes most programming languages including Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Go, Rust, Java, C++, Ruby, PHP, and more. It also reads Markdown documentation, YAML/JSON configuration files, and README files.
Can I ask questions about multiple repositories at once?
Yes. Add multiple repositories to your workspace and AskBro will search across all of them, citing which repo and file each answer came from.
How is AskBro GitHub Q&A different from GitHub Copilot?
GitHub Copilot is an inline code completion tool that helps you write new code. AskBro GitHub Repo Q&A helps you understand existing codebases — asking architecture questions, tracing bugs, and onboarding — with answers that cite specific files and line numbers.
How long does it take to index a large GitHub repository?
Most repositories index in under two minutes. Very large monorepos may take slightly longer. AskBro prioritises source files and README for fast initial indexing.
