Does Devora work with private repositories?

Yes. Devora supports both public and private GitHub repositories. Sign in with GitHub OAuth, grant read access, and you can import any repo you have access to. You can revoke access at any time from GitHub → Settings → Applications.

Which languages are supported?

Any of 60+ languages: TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Go, Rust, Java, C/C++, C#, Ruby, PHP, Swift, Kotlin, Scala, and 40+ more. Frameworks are detected heuristically from dependency manifests (package.json, requirements.txt, go.mod, Cargo.toml, pom.xml, etc.).

How are my private repositories handled?

Your private repos are read via the GitHub API — source files are fetched on demand to generate documentation and embeddings. Devora never stores your source code; only the generated docs and embeddings are persisted to your database.

Can I export the documentation?

Yes. Every documentation page can be exported as Markdown. Download the entire suite in one click and drop it straight into your repository or wiki.

What's the difference between Devora and GitHub Copilot?

Copilot is a code-completion tool that writes code inside your editor. Devora is a documentation platform that reads your existing code and produces docs, diagrams, and a chat grounded in your codebase. They're complementary, not competitive.

How accurate is the generated documentation?

Devora's AI reads your actual source code — file contents, config files, and the README — to generate documentation tailored to your codebase. Every answer in the chat includes source citations linking to the exact file and line.
