The author is investigating Repomix, a tool similar to their project, Repopal, but with more features. Repomix can be installed via the command line using `npx repomix@latest` or as a browser extension. The author is particularly interested in Repomix's `--remote` feature, which downloads source code without cloning a repository. To understand this feature, they analyzed Repomix's source code. They began by looking for the entry point, likely `index.ts` within the `src` folder. The author leveraged AI tools to understand the CLI entry point quickly. They also used VSCode's Vim mode shortcuts for efficient code navigation, specifically the 'gh' shortcut. This helped them find the core implementation for downloading remote projects using Git. The author plans to adapt Repomix's code to enhance their own project, Repopal.
