About the project

Graf is a Rust rewrite of a code-graph tool that builds a graph of your codebase and docs, acting as a local alternative to Sourcegraph. It indexes code into SQLite so agents can quickly trace relationships between symbols: who calls a function, what depends on it, and what breaks when it changes.

Useful for

Index a repository and find all callers of a function via graf impact
Connect Graf's read-only MCP server to Codex or Claude Code for agent code navigation
Import an existing Graphify graph with graf switch and update only changed files

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
