Penify — Automated Documentation for GitHub Repositories
Penify is an automated documentation tool that generates and updates comprehensive repository documentation across the SDLC, from pull requests to API docs. It streamlines developer onboarding and keeps docs in sync with code, enabling fast, accurate documentation at scale. It offers a CLI, integrations, and hosting to publish docs at public URLs with zero extra configuration.
How Penify Works
- Automates documentation for code, API, and architecture throughout the development workflow.
- Generates complete repository documentation with a single click, mapping file relationships and dependencies, and documenting both public APIs and internal implementations.
- Keeps documentation up-to-date by automatically updating docs when code changes are detected (via Git diffs and PRs).
- Generates and publishes documentation to public URLs with secure HTTPS, with automatic updates when source code changes.
- Supports multiple programming languages to provide consistent documentation across tech stacks.
Use Cases
- Onboarding new developers with up-to-date project docs.
- Maintaining accurate API documentation automatically from code.
- Providing architecture diagrams and relationships to help stakeholders understand system structure.
- Generating commit summaries and PR documentation to improve change context.
