Why teams choose ShipDocs over CodeWiki

CodeWiki
  • Private repos not supported: coming soon, no timeline
  • Public repos only
  • No AI chat: you can't ask questions
  • Flat pages: no component structure
  • No encryption at rest
  • No Markdown export or self-hosting
  • Web-only: no CLI
ShipDocs
  • Private repos, AES-256-GCM encrypted
  • Public repos, same as CodeWiki
  • AI chat grounded in your real source code
  • Per-component modules with a sidebar
  • Encrypted at rest, never trained on
  • Standard Markdown you export and keep
  • CLI-native: push your cwd in seconds

What you get with ShipDocs that CodeWiki can't offer

Four reasons teams switch from CodeWiki to ShipDocs.

The dealbreaker

Private repos, encrypted end-to-end

CodeWiki can't touch your private codebase. ShipDocs encrypts every project with AES-256-GCM and never uses your code to train AI models. Connect via GitHub/GitLab OAuth, upload a ZIP, or push from the CLI.

CodeWiki doesn't have this

AI chat that cites your source files

Ask "where do we validate webhooks?" and get an answer with the file path and line number. No hallucinated APIs. Multi-turn chat that keeps repo context across questions.

No lock-in

Markdown you own, export, and self-host

Your docs are standard Markdown, not trapped on a platform. Export anytime. Deploy on GitHub Pages, Netlify, Docusaurus, MkDocs, or your own server. Even if ShipDocs disappeared, your docs survive.

Zero setup

Works right now. No local setup.

CodeWiki's private repo version requires running the Gemini CLI locally on your own infrastructure. ShipDocs is fully cloud-hosted. Point at a repo, get docs in 2 minutes. No servers. No configuration.

ShipDocs vs CodeWiki

Same auto-generated docs for public repos. Plus everything CodeWiki can't do.

Google's private repo version isn't ready.
Yours can be documented today.

CodeWiki generates great docs for open source. ShipDocs does the same for the codebases behind your auth wall: encrypted, with chat, and Markdown you own.
