## Profiling & Debugging

If OctoTUI is slow on large repositories, enable profiling to identify bottlenecks:

```bash
# Enable profiling (logs to ~/.octotui_profile.log)
OCTOTUI_PROFILE=1 uv run octotui /path/to/big/repo

# Use a custom log file
OCTOTUI_PROFILE=1 OCTOTUI_PROFILE_LOG=/tmp/profile.log uv run octotui
```

After using the app, check the profile log for a summary of slow functions:

```bash
cat ~/.octotui_profile.log | tail -30
```

The summary shows function call counts, total time, average time, and min/max times—sorted by total time (slowest first).
