So i just tried this on 2 repositories.
1. On (https://github.com/voodooEntity/gits) -> https://deepwiki.com/voodooEntity/gits
This is a longterm golang project i work on and it has a very very detailed documentation already.
While going through the AI docs of deepwiki, i could see how it profitted from my existing documentation, most stuff is just different words same content. What i liked about it was the visualisations (even if some of them are well "special") it shows some insides in workflows that i have in my mind but might give a benefit to others not beein the author
While trying out the search/chat i have to admit it gave better answers than i expected.
Due to having a very fond knowledge of how to do stuff efficiently with the lib, i tested the chat on telling me whats the most efficient way to achieve XYZ. While it listed me al
Read the rest
l possibilities (all of them correct) it also correctly pointed out whats the most "efficient" way.
Also i gave it some question that, i know from experience when others first tried the lib, could be confusing. But it was resolved correctly.
Allover a pleasant result
2. On (github.com/electronicarts/CnC_Renegade/) -> https://deepwiki.com/electronicarts/CnC_Renegade/
For those who dont know , CnC Renegade is a very old game (~2000) which was coded by the original Westwood. Its mainly in C++ (some c) and a through and through plain code. There is no real documentation in the repo other than some base info for dependencies etc.
First of all i saw that the resulting documentation well.... lacked documentation i guess? It just in multiple pages explaind whats in the main Readme (which is not really alot). So from the "docs generating" perspective, no gain here.
Than i tried to chat with it about it - and it seemed like it has a basic understanding of the code. For me its harder to validate the results (tbh i only read over the code once when it was released - curiosity) but it seemed like it was no total loss.
Conclusion:
To me it seems like, to get a very good basic documentation out of it, it already must have a good basic documentation. Apart from the graphics it added, i didn't really see a gain compared to the already existing documentation.
Based on the chat results i'd say, those might be decent and helpfull if you dig into a new codebase especially a more complex one and you are searching for a specific thing in 1000s of loc in multiple files.
Would i use it in the future? Ill maybe try, but only the chat feature - for the generated docs as elaborated i don't see any use.
