In this time and age, AI is everywhere. However, it's sometimes not very easy to use. For green-field projects it works quite a bit better than for existing legacy projects. And Git's source code is _quite_ as legacy code as they come... 😁 Now, the only way how AI can be used efficiently with legacy code is by providing enough information by way of prompt context for the AI to have a chance to make any sense of the code. The structure and the architecture is, after all, not designed for AI, but rather the opposite: By virtue of having grown organically over two decades, there is no design that AI coding models would readily grasp. So here is a document that describes all kinds of aspects about this project. The idea is to help AI by providing information that it does not have ingrained in its weights. The idea is to provide information that a human prompter might take for granted, but no coding model will have been trained on specifically.
