The problem it solves

In the fast-paced world of AI development, it's easy to push code without fully understanding its implications. Sphinx addresses this issue by prompting developers with questions about their code before it goes live, fostering a deeper comprehension and reducing the risk of errors.

How it flows
  1. Install Sphinx
  2. Integrate with Git
  3. Push Code
  4. Answer Quiz
  5. Deploy Code

Step-by-step setup

  1. Install Sphinx

    Use npm to install Sphinx globally with the command: npm install -g sphinx-understand.

  2. Integrate with Git

    Set up Sphinx as a Git hook in your existing coding workflow to trigger before code is pushed to production.

  3. Push Code

    When you push your code to the main branch, Sphinx will automatically activate.

  4. Answer Quiz

    Respond to the questions generated by Sphinx to demonstrate your understanding of the code being deployed.

  5. Deploy Code

    Once you have answered the questions, proceed with the deployment of your code.
