Graphical Code Tracer (gct) is the world's first visual static code analyzer.

Within **seconds** it can tell you how your functions and classes are connected to each other!

## Getting started


### Usecases:
1. Onboard to new codebases faster.
2. Debug code faster [Twitter thread](https://twitter.com/qasim31wani/status/1609677492347981825)
3. Create share-able versions of your code. Using gctpy.com, you can instantly share your UML diagrams across teams.


### Some examples you can run GCT on:

Generate graph for any python file
```sh
python -m gct -i path/to/file.py # run gct on a local file
python -m gct -i https://github.com/user_name/path/to/file.py # run gct on a file hosted on a web server
```


## Installation

### *Step 1: Install GCT Python package*

```
pip install gct-py
```


### *Step 2: (Skip if already installed) Install Graphviz executable*

GCT generates graphs using [graphviz](https://graphviz.org). To get accurate graphs, we highly
recommend using latest graphviz version available for your OS.

If you've already installed graphviz executable version, check the dot version by running: `dot -V`.

<details>
  <summary>Windows</summary>

  Install graphviz by downloading executable (version >=6.0.1) from [graphviz](https://graphviz.org/download/#windows) website.

  <summary>MacOS</summary>

  (Optional) more details: [graphviz](https://graphviz.org/download/#mac).
  
```
  brew install graphviz
```

  <summary>Linux</summary>

  (optional) more details: [graphviz](https://graphviz.org/download/#linux).
  
```
  sudo apt install graphviz
```

## Configuration

Customize the experience by aliasing `gct`:
```
alias gct=python -m gct -i'
gct path/to/file.py
```
