How to onboard to a new codebase, fast

Worked examples of onboarding to a codebase: the first files to read, main systems, and key terms for each repo. See how Repo Mastery turns any repository into a fast onboarding path.

TypeScript

acme-payments-api

First files: src/charges/chargeService.ts src/ledger/ledger.ts src/webhooks/handler.ts
TypeScript

atlas-web

Go

orders-service

A Go microservice that accepts orders over gRPC and REST, persists them to Postgres, emits domain events to a message queue, and exposes health and metrics for the platform.

Rust

ferro-cli

A Rust command-line tool that parses arguments, runs subcommands concurrently with async tasks, and prints structured output, built for speed and reliability.
