Ask HN: Using ChatGPT to understand a new codebase; which prompts do you use?
2 points by recvonline on April 27, 2023 | hide | past | favorite
I am copy/pasting parts of a public repository into ChatGPT to help me formulate some of my own thoughts in text.

It does a pretty decent job, and it's great for a first onboarding. However, I realized, asking the same question again, the answer is getting slightly better.

Now I wonder: Which prompts could I use so ChatGPT acts more like a programmer while explaining me the code?
