About:
code-minimap is a fast, command-line utility that generates a compact, ASCII or UTF-8 visual representation of source code files. It analyzes code structure to produce a 'minimap' view, similar to those found in modern code editors. This allows developers to quickly understand file complexity and navigate large codebases from the terminal.
Key Features:
  • High-performance parsing written in Rust
  • Supports over 100 programming languages
  • Customizable output with color and character sets
  • Seamless integration with CLI tools like fzf and less
Use Cases:
  • Quickly assessing the complexity and structure of unfamiliar source files
  • Navigating large codebases within a terminal workflow
  • Generating visual summaries for documentation or code reviews
Alternatives:
  • sed – Standard stream editor, lacks the visual 'minimap' abstraction and code-aware parsing.
  • cloc – Counts lines of code by language, but does not provide a spatial/visual representation of the code structure.
