How to trace feature in the new project

Today, I'm looking into Repomix, which is a tool for extracting source code. It's similar to my own project, Repopal, but it has more features. Repomix can be installed easily using the command line with this one line:

npx repomix@latest 

You can also install it as a browser extension for:

• Chrome
• Firefox

One option I'm interested in is the --remote feature in the command line. This allows users to generate project source code without needing to clone the repository first. Here’s how I broke down the core implementation:

1. Finding the Entry Point: Like many JavaScript/TypeScript projects, Repomix has a src folder with an index.ts file as the entry point. I searched there first. If I'm working with a language or framework I'm not familiar with, I usually check the quick start guide in the documentation.

2. Using AI Tools: I used AI tools to get a brief explanation of the CLI entry point. This helped me quickly locate the code related to the --remote option without having to search through every imported package.

3. Using Shortcuts in VSCode: I use Vim mode in VSCode, which lets me use a 'gh' shortcut to go to the definition of functions or variables. This speeds up my process. Without shortcuts, I would have to click around, search for function names, and check if I found the right definition.

In the end, I found the core implementation for downloading remote projects using Git. I plan to use this code to improve my own project.
