A GitHub Action that generates an SVG diagram visualizing the file structure of a repository, with customizable colors, exclusions, and depth. It can commit the diagram back to the repo or output it as an artifact.

Use cases

• visualize repository file structure as a diagram
• generate an SVG map of a codebase
• automatically update a repo diagram on push
• exclude build folders from a repo visualization
• color-code files by extension in a repo diagram

When to choose

• you want an automatic, always-up-to-date visual map of your repo committed via GitHub Actions
• you need a lightweight SVG overview of project structure for documentation

When to avoid

• you need interactive or dependency-graph analysis rather than a static file-tree diagram
• you're not using GitHub Actions or GitHub-hosted repositories
• you need a production-supported tool - this is explicitly an experiment
