Hey devs! 👋 I recently built Dokugen – an AI-powered tool that generates README.md files automatically based on your GitHub repository.

I created this because I noticed many devs either:

Spend too much time writing detailed READMEs

End up with incomplete or missing project documentation

So I thought: Why not automate it?

What is Dokugen?

Dokugen is an open-source CLI tool that scans your GitHub repo and instantly generates a well-structured, professional README for you. It analyzes your code and produces:
✅ A clear project description
✅ Installation & setup steps
✅ Usage examples
✅ Features & technologies used
✅ Contributing guidelines

All in just one command!

How It Works

1️⃣ Install Dokugen:

npm install -g dokugen

2️⃣ Run it in your project folder:

npx dokugen generate

3️⃣ Boom! Your README.md is generated.

Why I Built This

I've seen many cool open-source projects without a proper README – which makes them hard to understand and use. I wanted to fix that.

With Dokugen, you can:
🚀 Save time writing documentation
🔥 Make your projects look professional instantly
🤝 Attract more contributors to your repo

🚀 Try It Out!

Dokugen is free and open-source! You can check it out here:
