Generate and embed beautiful code snippets anywhere you want. Forget about updating READMEs: with Codemeup you can keep your documentation code snippets up to date automatically by rendering snippets directly from your Github account.

I was tired of updating code snippets from my documentation every time I changed the source code, so I created a tool that does that for me πŸ—Ώ

Congrats @tratteo. Great product! I see several use cases already. How does it deal with extra-long lines of code? Also, does it support multiple branches? Best of luck!
Matteo Beltrame
@azizka I release an update yesterday and now branches are supported. Check out the docs for details: https://codemeup.dev/docs For what regards long lines of code, the code is formatted using Prettier, so lines are wrapped in a pretty way 😎

This is cool! Do you have an example of a readme doc on GitHub already using this?
Matteo Beltrame
@sentry_co Not yet but you can test it here with any public repository: https://codemeup.dev/render

@sentry_co I just used Codemeup with the new watermark on the README of one of my open source packages, check it out: https://github.com/wildspace-dev...

This looks really interesting! @tratteo, how does Codemeup handle changes to the code? Is it able to track updates in real time, or is there a refresh process involved? Also, what kind of integration are we looking at with GitHub? Are there specific file types or configurations that work best? I'm curious about the potential for automating documentation processes with this tool. Can't wait to see how it evolves!

Codemeup sounds like a powerful tool for developers who want to streamline their documentation process! Automatically keeping code snippets up to date by pulling directly from GitHub is a game-changer, saving time and ensuring accuracy. The ability to generate and embed beautiful snippets anywhere makes it even more versatile, making sure your docs always look polished and professional without the hassle of manually updating them. For anyone managing project documentation, Codemeup could definitely simplify the workflow and eliminate outdated examples in README files. Looking forward to seeing how it improves developer workflows!

I got the need this morning when I had to share some lines of code on slack for a quick review. I discovered your tool just after! Congrats for you launch!
Congratulations to the Codemeup team! This tool simplifies embedding and maintaining code snippets directly from GitHub, enhancing documentation efficiency. Will future versions support snippet versioning or integration with other code repositories for broader usability?

Hey Matteo, Does it support private repositories, and if so, how does it handle authentication and security? Congrats on the launch!
Matteo Beltrame
@kyrylosilin Yes it does indeed! Codemeup is an Oauth Github app, when installed for a certain user, it retrieves an Oauth token with the required permissions

Codemeup looks fantastic, I hope more developers know about this. :-)

"Finally, a tool that gets me! Codemeup is like the personal assistant I never knew I needed for my code snippets. No more endless README updates every time I tweak a line of code. It's like Codemeup is whispering, 'I've got you, fam.' Absolute game-changer, @tratteo! πŸš€πŸ–₯️ #LazyDevLife"

Congratulations on the launch of Codemeup! I'm really excited to see how this tool can streamline the process of keeping documentation up to date with code snippets directly from GitHub. Have you considered adding customization options for the appearance of the code snippets or perhaps integration with other documentation tools? That could really enhance its versatility.

This is smart! Automating the update process for code snippets is a huge time-saver. Good luck today with your launch @tratteo

Sounds like a really handy tool for devs. Just checked it out briefly, but it looks promising for saving time on doc updates. Congrats on solving a common headache!

Congrats on the launch! Codemeup sounds like a game-changer for keeping documentation up to date with real-time GitHub code snippets. How customizable are the snippet renderings? Can you adjust the style or format? Also, does it support different programming languages seamlessly?
Matteo Beltrame
@alexandra_describy Yes it is possible to customize the font, the theme and more, you can try it here: https://codemeup.dev/render

Hey @tratteo this is really nice and helpful, especially for documentation πŸ‘πŸ» How does it work? The snippet is embedded as an image. How does Codemeup know when the image needs to be rerendered? Does it need access to the repository to check for updates? Congrats on the launch πŸš€
Matteo Beltrame
@crebuh The code is rendered as an svg, hence HTML code. This means that at every request the snippet is rebuilt since rendering is efficient ⚑. Internally, Codmeup does have smart caching to allow faster reqeusts tho!

So simple, but so smart, love it. Thank you for building it. Is there a way to select specific lines from a file to showcase/highlight?
Matteo Beltrame
@babs_codes Yes on the dashboard it is possible to specify a range of lines to render. Check out the docs here: https://codemeup.dev/docs Cheers!
