  1. gimme_readme

    gimme_readme is a command-line tool powered by AI that generates a comprehensive README.md file for your project. It analyzes multiple source code files at once, providing concise explanations of each file's purpose, functionality, and key components, all in a single, easy-to-read document.

    As a developer with a JavaScript background, I've spent a fair amount of time writing tests with Jest.

I was able to find great Stack Overflow threads that taught me how to run Jest tests when using ES6 syntax. Without the wisdom of these smart individuals, let's just say I would have struggled! However, armed with this knowledge of how to use Jest's experimental features, I was able to:

Aryan's project is a command-line tool called github-echo which provides insights on a GitHub repository. Using an unfamiliar language + a testing framework I had never used (PyTest) was definitely outside my comfort zone, but I really appreciated that Aryan was willing to show me the ropes (thanks Aryan!).
