About:
Tagref is a tool that helps developers manage and maintain references within their codebase. It allows you to create tagged references to specific lines of code, files, or external resources. This ensures that documentation and code stay synchronized by providing a robust system for tracking connections.
Key Features:
  • Maintains codebase references and tags
  • Validates references to prevent broken links
  • Supports multiple programming languages
  • Lightweight and fast execution
  • Integrates with CI/CD pipelines
Use Cases:
  • Linking documentation to specific code implementations
  • Maintaining TODO or FIXME markers with context
  • Enforcing documentation accuracy in CI
  • Cross-referencing related code sections
Alternatives:
  • grep – grep is a general-purpose search tool, whereas Tagref is specifically designed for maintaining validated references and tags.
  • ctags – ctags generates index files for navigation, while Tagref focuses on user-defined references and validation.
