RepoLens – Open Source Repository Onboarding Guide Generator
A developer tool that analyzes a GitHub repository and generates a beginner-friendly onboarding guide, helping new contributors understand project structure, setup steps, and starting points instantly.
RepoLens is an open-source developer productivity tool designed to simplify the onboarding experience for new contributors in open-source projects.

Key capabilities of RepoLens include:
• Extracting repository structure and important files
• Reading README and setup instructions
• Highlighting key modules and entry points
• Suggesting practical starting steps for contributors
The project is built using open-source technologies and does not rely on proprietary or closed-source services, ensuring full compliance with FOSS principles.
RepoLens aims to reduce the barrier to entry in open-source contribution and help more developers confidently explore and contribute to real-world projects.
