codemap --diff # What changed vs main
codemap --deps . # Dependency flow| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
--depth, -d <n> |
Limit tree depth (0 = unlimited) |
--only <exts> |
Only show files with these extensions |
--exclude <patterns> |
Exclude files matching patterns |
--diff |
Show files changed vs main branch |
--ref <branch> |
Branch to compare against (with --diff) |
--deps |
Dependency flow mode |
--importers <file> |
Check who imports a file |
--skyline |
City skyline visualization |

Output JSON |
Smart pattern matching — no quotes needed:
