Automatically generate comprehensive documentation from your Copilot-assisted code and publish it to your team's knowledge base for better code understanding and onboarding.

Workflow Steps

1

GitHub Copilot

Generate well-commented code

Use Copilot to write code with detailed inline comments and docstrings. Enable the feature that adds explanatory comments for complex logic, function purposes, and parameter descriptions.

2

GitHub Actions

Extract code and comments on push

Set up a workflow that triggers on code pushes to extract all comments, docstrings, and code structure from modified files. Use a script to parse and format this information into structured data.
