Karpathy highlights tools like GitIngest and DeepWiki as critical picks-and-shovels for making code and repos LLM-consumable
Andrej Karpathy· Independent· AI· 2026-06-03· about GitIngest, DeepWiki, Devin
“When I go to a GitHub repo... I can't feed this to an LLM and ask questions about it, because this is a human interface on GitHub. So when you just change the URL from GitHub to Git ingest, then this will actually concatenate all the files into a single giant text... Maybe even more dramatic example of this is DeepWiki, where it's not just the raw content of these files... Devin basically builds up a whole docs page just for your repo, and you can imagine that this is even more helpful to copy-paste into your LLM.”
Why it matters
LLMs cannot efficiently consume raw GitHub repos or documentation in human-optimized format. Tools that transform data into LLM-friendly formats (concatenated text, structured markdown, analysis) are essential infrastructure.
Investment implication
High-demand picks-and-shovels opportunity: tools that make existing digital assets (code repos, docs, data) easily consumable by LLMs. Companies providing repo indexing, code analysis, and documentation transformation services will see rising adoption.
