Is there any reasonable way yet to allow ChatGPT to access the full contents of a GitHub repo and ask questions about it? I tried some months ago and hit a brick wall, not sure if anything's changed.

I built a local developer-mode plugin that gives ChatGPT access to a local directory [0] -- it's pretty basic in terms of functionality (just simple bridge to access/read files) but I've found a surprising amount of value from it [1]!

Tried now. I downloaded a whole repo for a Phoenix Project (so more than 1 file) and uploaded it to ChatGPT as a zip file. It works but answers are not perfect but I guess a python/javascript project should work better since it has more training data on those languages.

thats the end goal for this type of tool. right now you just guide the bot into the repo and ask it to read individual files

you can give it a github link but the context size isnt big enough for large projects to be inserted directly.
