This is very nice. It would be interesting to see the same for other code bases like emacs and vim. | ||

emacs is quite approachable because of its self documenting nature. In practice, if you want to drill down on a particular thing, you need to use some of the describe-* commands. For example want to know how emacs save something? 1) find the command it uses with describe-keybinding, you find the command "save-buffer" 2) "describe-command save-buffer" brings you onto the lisp world where it is defined => "files.el" 3) want to know how a variable is define within files.el? "describe-variable buffer-file-name" and now you are in C territory 4) rinse and repeat with some describe-function when needed 5) get lost onto the beauty of emacs which in my opinion is its interactive / self documenting nature which unfortunatly is not more common in all the software we use | ||

I don't know why you're getting downvoted. It would be wonderful if there was same site for all the big open source projects | ||
