repo2vec


An open-source pair programmer for chatting with any codebase.

# Getting started

## Installation

To install the library, simply run `pip install repo2vec`!

## Prerequisites

`repo2vec` performs two steps:

1. Indexes your codebase (requiring an embdder and a vector store)
2. Enables chatting via LLM + RAG (requiring access to an LLM)

:computer: Running locally

1. To index the codebase locally, we use the open-source project Marqo, which is both an embedder and a vector store. To bring up a Marqo instance:

```
docker rm -f marqo
docker pull marqoai/marqo:latest
docker run --name marqo -it -p 8882:8882 marqoai/marqo:latest
```

2. To chat with an LLM locally, we use Ollama:

- Head over to [ollama.com](https://ollama.com) to download the appropriate binary for your machine.
- Pull the desired model, e.g. `ollama pull llama3.1`.

:cloud: Using external providers

1. We support OpenAI for embeddings (they have a super fast batch embedding API) and Pinecone for the vector store. So you will need two API keys:

```
export OPENAI_API_KEY=...
export PINECONE_API_KEY=...
```

2. For chatting with an LLM, we support OpenAI and Anthropic. For the latter, set an additional API key:

```
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=...
```



Optional
If you are planning on indexing GitHub issues in addition to the codebase, you will need a GitHub token:

export GITHUB_TOKEN=...

## Running it

:computer: Running locally

To index the codebase:

r2v-index github-repo-name \ # e.g. Storia-AI/repo2vec
--embedder-type=marqo \
--vector-store-type=marqo \
--index-name=your-index-name

To chat with your codebase:

r2v-chat github-repo-name \
--vector-store-type=marqo \
--index-name=your-index-name \
--llm-provider=ollama \
--llm-model=llama3.1

:cloud: Using external providers

To index the codebase:

r2v-index github-repo-name \ # e.g. Storia-AI/repo2vec
--embedder-type=openai \
--vector-store-type=pinecone \
--index-name=your-index-name

To chat with your codebase:

r2v-chat github-repo-name \
--vector-store-type=pinecone \
--index-name=your-index-name \
--llm-provider=openai \
--llm-model=gpt-4

To get a public URL for your chat app, set `--share=true`.

## Additional features

- **Control which files get indexed** based on their extension. You can whitelist or blacklist extensions by passing a file with one extension per line (in the format `.ext`):
- To only index a whitelist of files:

```
r2v-index ... --include=/path/to/extensions/file
```

- To index all code except a blacklist of files:

```
r2v-index ... --exclude=/path/to/extensions/file
```

- **Index open GitHub issues** (remember to `export GITHUB_TOKEN=...`):
- To index GitHub issues without comments:

```
r2v-index ... --index-issues
```

- To index GitHub issues with comments:

```
r2v-index ... --index-issues --index-issue-comments
```

- To index GitHub issues, but not the codebase:

```
r2v-index ... --index-issues --no-index-repo
```

# Why chat with a codebase?

Sometimes you just want to learn how a codebase works and how to integrate it, without spending hours sifting through
the code itself.

`repo2vec` is like an open-source GitHub Copilot with the most up-to-date information about your repo.

Features:

- **Dead-simple set-up.** Run *two scripts* and you have a functional chat interface for your code. That's really it.
- **Heavily documented answers.** Every response shows where in the code the context for the answer was pulled from. Let's build trust in the AI.
- **Runs locally or on the cloud.**
- **Plug-and-play.** Want to improve the algorithms powering the code understanding/generation? We've made every component of the pipeline easily swappable. Google-grade engineering standards allow you to customize to your heart's content.

# Changelog

- 2024-09-06: Updated command names to `r2v-index` and `r2v-chat` to avoid clash with local utilities.
- 2024-09-03: `repo2vec` is now available on pypi.
- 2024-09-03: Support for indexing GitHub issues.
- 2024-08-30: Support for running everything locally (Marqo for embeddings, Ollama for LLMs).

# Want your repository hosted?

We're working to make all code on the internet searchable and understandable for devs. You can check out our early product, [Code Sage](https://sage.storia.ai). We pre-indexed a slew of OSS repos, and you can index your desired ones by simply pasting a GitHub URL.

If you're the maintainer of an OSS repo and would like a dedicated page on Code Sage (e.g. `sage.storia.ai/your-repo`), then send us a message at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]). We'll do it for free!

# Extensions & Contributions

We built the code purposefully modular so that you can plug in your desired embeddings, LLM and vector stores providers by simply implementing the relevant abstract classes.
