Explore an Unfamiliar Codebase

Analyze the repository once:

Terminal window
nbx analyze .

See the structure

Section titled “See the structure”
Terminal window
nbx map

The map groups code by functional communities and execution workflows, which is often more useful than starting from folders.

Terminal window
nbx search "how authentication refresh works"

Use a concrete behavior or task. Search returns the code paths and definitions that belong together.

Inspect the important symbol

Section titled “Inspect the important symbol”
Terminal window
