Thank you for a README that is readable.  It might have a bit of AI help but it’s concise and makes it clear how to use the tool.

This is what I wanted to help with duplicate code detection, which is now a real problem with agentic programming since the agent tends to duplicate helper functions a lot in bigger codebases.I ended up writing my own tool [1] that uses vector search, which works but can be unusably slow in large codebases.I will give this a shot.[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;ninjaxtools&#x2F;slopdex" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;ninjaxtools&#x2F;slopdex</a>

Thanks for posting this; I&#x27;m very interested in finding similar chunks of code in an AST-ish fashion, and using tree-sitter seems perfect.

treepeat is a tool that finds similarities in your codebase.Find duplicate code blocks meaningful to the language (classes&#x2F;functions), not just lines.Find near-duplicates: ignore whitespace, strings, high level AST nodes such as function and names.Find structurally similar code: anonymize identifiers, constants, etc.Pull requests welcome: This is very much an proof of concept - I&#x27;m happy with it, but I haven&#x27;t supported very many languages at present.Languages supported: astro, bash, css, go, html, javascript, lua, markdown (plus codeblocks), python, sql, typescript, java, kotlin, rust, yaml
