history
Project history and usage
codevis is a Rust CLI that renders source code and UTF-8 text files in a folder into a single image, using syntax highlighting where possible.
Project history
The official repository presents codevis as a visualization utility rather than a language tool or build system. Its public GitHub metadata records the repository as created on January 17, 2022.
Adoption history
The supplied package facts list codevis in Homebrew and Nix. That is consistent with a small, self-contained developer utility whose main packaging concern is exposing the codevis executable.
How it is used
The README shows codevis being run with an input directory and optional output file, producing a PNG visualization of a repository or directory tree. It also points users to --help for the full CLI surface.
Why package nerds care
codevis matters to package nerds as a compact example of a Rust visualization CLI distributed through cargo and system package managers, with no daemon, account, or runtime service attached.
