Versions:
CodeMap is a lightweight, open-source utility published by JordanCoin that creates a concise, hierarchical “brain map” of any local or remote codebase so large-language-model prompts can ingest entire project structure without exceeding token limits. Issuing a single CLI command traverses directories, respects .gitignore rules, and emits a compressed text outline that preserves folder nesting, file names, and brief syntax hints while stripping irrelevant whitespace and comments. The resulting artifact is small enough to paste directly into ChatGPT, Claude, or any custom LLM endpoint, giving the model immediate architectural context for tasks such as generating unit tests, documenting legacy modules, planning refactors, or onboarding new contributors. Because the map is regenerated on demand, it always reflects the latest branch state, eliminating the stale-documentation problem that plagues traditional wikis. Developers further automate the workflow by hooking CodeMap into pre-commit scripts or CI pipelines, producing fresh context artifacts for every pull request. The program is written in cross-platform Go and distributed as a single static binary, so it runs identically on Windows, macOS, and Linux without runtime dependencies. Since its first public commit the project has iterated through sixteen releases; the current stable build, version 4.1.2, introduces incremental scanning for monorepos and configurable depth caps to keep output within strict token budgets. CodeMap sits in the Developer Tools / Code Generation category and is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
