Map a GitHub Repo with DeepWiki

DeepWiki can be useful when you need a quick overview of an unfamiliar GitHub repository.

The simple trick: replace github.com with deepwiki.com in a GitHub URL.

https://github.com/org/repo
https://deepwiki.com/org/repo

When it helps

• Onboarding to an unfamiliar repo.
• Getting architecture context before coding.
• Finding the main modules.
• Preparing questions before a deeper Claude Code investigation.

How to use it with Claude

Read this DeepWiki page and summarize the repo architecture.
Then list the files I should inspect directly before changing authentication.

Treat it as orientation, not ground truth. For implementation decisions, have Claude inspect the actual source files.
