I had copilot take a look through your repository, I will link its finding at the bottom. as a tl;dr for anyone who got interested by the sales pitch of the website:

"DevMem is a moderately clever idea — tying AI-generated documentation updates to git commits is a legitimate problem worth solving — expressed in a Go codebase that is not yet production-ready, does not compile as committed, contains a material security misrepresentation in its documentation, and ships approximately one-quarter of the features its website describes.

...

The marketing website is polished to a degree inversely proportional to the maturity of the code behind it. The claims about credential security are not merely aspirational — they describe a specific technical mechanism ("macOS Keychain", "system credential store") that simply does not exist in the implementation. Users who trust that claim may store secrets in a file that is one cat command away from exposure."

hey thanks for noticing it , no certainly its not marketing . the website is ai generated , i was building it solo and didnt had the time to implement the macOs keychain system but its in the checklist for the future implementation !

i had planned for the security to store that in !

also if you notice the commit history , its a one day shipping project , still theres a lot more to refine , i hope you have the patience along with me to make it a good developer tool !

Yeah I definitely noticed. I think it would be a good idea though to put a disclaimer for what already works and what doesn't. The website makes it appear like a finished product (props for it btw), and the goals of your app are quiet interesting. I will check back later once you got to it to a state that is more or less what the website promises Keep at it, it looks really cool what you are trying here
