Google has rolled out an update to its Gemini chatbot, making it easier for you to analyze and understand GitHub projects. With this change, you can now use Gemini to review code, explore repositories, and get summaries or explanations about open-source projects without leaving the chatbot.

The new tools allow you to paste a GitHub link into Gemini. The chatbot will then scan the repository and provide a summary of what the project does. You can ask questions about specific files, functions, or even request explanations for parts of the code. This helps you save time, especially if you are trying to decide whether to use a library or contribute to a project.

Gemini’s update is designed to support both experienced developers and newcomers. If you are new to coding, you can ask Gemini to break down complex code or explain how different parts of a project work. For advanced users, the chatbot can help you quickly identify key files, recent changes, or potential issues in the codebase.

This update is part of Google’s ongoing effort to make AI tools more useful for software development. By integrating GitHub analysis directly into Gemini, Google aims to streamline the process of exploring and understanding open-source projects. You do not need to install extra plugins or switch between different tools; everything happens within the Gemini interface.

The improved GitHub analysis feature is now available to all Gemini users. You can try it by sharing a GitHub repository link in your next chat with Gemini.
