I was actually interested in Sourcetrail, but the biggest drawback for me was not being able to use it without GUI. Is there any way to get an option to work with the dependency tree from the commandline?

Sounds like an interesting idea, so I installed it and started trying it out, and it started talking about having to create projects and source groups and whatever, so I'll get back to it sometime, maybe.

Suggestion: lower the friction of getting started, have knobs to tweak behind the scenes for advanced users by all means, but the default mode should be able to do something interesting if you just point it at the root directory of your existing project.

I’ve been a user of this Sourcetrail product for 3 years and I rate this as one of the best product in reverse engineering a design out of an existing C++/C repository. In my case, it was Mozilla Firefox: I wrestled with extracting a stand-alone JS engine out of this at version 52 and later 58.

This is an AWESOME product, and is far better than using some import feature of some expensive UML modeler.

This guy who created this product did it as a Google employee.

Kudos!! And keep it up.

It seems like Source Insight for Linux/Mac.

What I would love to see is code running, extremely slowed down and in a zoomed out view of all the source files in a project.

So say I have a server running, I could make various web requests and very quickly get an intuitive sense of the major paths that the executing code takes.

If anyone's keen - please build a plugin for IntelliJ! I'd love to build it myself but have too many other projects taking up my time.

Any plans to support other languages like C#/Ruby/JavaScript (Node.JS)?
