ShipDocs — private repo docs + cited AI chat in 2 minutes
CodeWiki only works on public repos. ShipDocs works on yours.
Every growing team hits the same wall: new hires can’t find their way around the codebase, and senior devs spend hours every week being the human wiki. ShipDocs fixes that in one pipeline — import a repo, get structured docs, and let anyone on the team ask questions with answers that cite real file paths, not guesses.
How it works
Connect your code — private GitHub or GitLab repo, ZIP upload, or local folder via CLI
ShipDocs indexes it — scans your codebase, detects components, encrypts everything at rest (AES-256-GCM)
Docs appear in ~2 minutes — 9 modules per project (overview, architecture, backend, frontend, workers, API, setup, and more)
Your team browses or chats — ask “where is webhook verification?” and get an answer with `src/routes/billing.ts:176 ` attached
Also included per project: architecture diagram, Dockerfile generator, and production readiness audit.
Docs auto-sync when you push to GitHub or GitLab. Export/Edit your projects Markdown anytime. Your code is never used to train AI models.
Built for the whole team — not just engineers
New devs onboard without pulling seniors off shipping
Founders & PMs understand the product without a walkthrough call
Sales & marketing finally know what the thing actually does
For developers who live in the terminal
curl -fsSL shipdocs.sh | sh
Full CLI + TUI. Index a local repo without leaving your editor.
